[An optical model of axial reflection and its clinical application].
A developed optical model of axial reflection on retinal blood vessels has been presented in this paper. The loss of the transparency of retinal arterial vessel wall is a frequent expression of retinal vascular pathology. With the change of parameters, the model can simulate the progress of the axial reflection exactly during the onset and progression of hypertension. This non-invasive and quantitative method is useful for study in the relationship between hypertension and retinal vessel axial reflection. It can help doctors approach a diagnosis of hypertension.
