In vivo measurement of ocular circulation with the laser speckle method-development of apparatus and application in ophthalmological research
central retinal vein was 35.5 +/- 3.2 mm/sec with a correlation coefficient between them of 0.91. In a total of 4 eyes with impending central retinal vein or artery occlusion, measurements by the laser speckle method, and CDI method were carried out. The blood velocities measured by the both methods increased along with the treatment. A good correlation between the CDI results and the laser speckle results indicates validity and clinical potential of the present laser speckle method.
