Abstract:

Retinal oximetry is a rapid, noninvasive, new retinal vascular imaging technology, which can measure and quantitatively analyze the retinal blood oxygen saturation at all levels of retinal arterial and venous. It can be applied in the diagnosis and follow-up of many diseases such as retinal artery occlusion, retinal vein occlusion, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma. It is an important supplement of existing imaging equipment, which can help deepen the understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis, and evaluate the condition and prognosis of the disease.
