Abstract excerpt
Purpose: The aim of this study was to characterize changes in retinal vessel diameters and choroidal blood flow in healthy lowlanders during a high-altitude expedition. Methods: Ocular examination, fundus images acquired using a handheld camera, and laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) measurements within the subfoveal choroid (blood flow = ChBF, blood velocity = ChVel, and blood volume = ChVol) were carried out at 200...
