Abstract:

Microcirculation refers to arterioles, veins and capillaries circulation and lymph circulation, is a central part of the circulatory system. The microvascular morphology assessment and quantitative analysis of the dynamic circulation plays an important role in understanding disease pathophysiology and monitoring microvascular treatment. Bulbar conjunctiva microcirculation is closely related with a variety of eye diseases. Now the conjunctival microvasculature may be measured and analyzed using light microscope, electron microscope, laser scanning confocal microscope, optical coherence tomography angiography, retinal function imager, orthogonal polarization spectral, functional slit lamp biomicroscope, etc.(Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2018, 42:  199-203)
