Measuring the microcirculation in the human conjunctiva bulbi under normal and hyperperfusion conditions.
We present a system consisting of a slit lamp stereomicroscope and an adapted video system for the examination of the conjunctival microcirculation. This system permits measurement of the flow of erythrocytes in the vessels of the bulbar conjunctiva. We present values obtained from clinically normal individuals under normal conditions and under conditions of hyperperfusion.
