[Age-related characteristics of the conjunctival microcirculation in healthy persons and hypertensives].
Biomicroscopy was used to study microcirculation in the area of bulbar conjunctiva in 124 patients suffering from hypertension and in 45 healthy individuals aged 30-74 years. It was found that the form of the microvessels especially of the capillaries and venules is modified with age. The degree of such changes is enhanced in arterial hypertension in patients of all the age groups but it is more marked in the more aged.
