AIMS: Investigation of retinal vasodilation under flickering light is considered a dynamic
analysis in contrast to the static analysis of retinal vessel equivalents (mean retinal vessel …

Purpose.: This study investigated the responses of retinal vessels to flickering light in
diabetic patients with various stages of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods.: This cross …

Background Diabetic retinopathy is accompanied with changes in the autoregulation of
retinal blood flow secondary to changes in the systemic blood pressure and the retinal …

OBJECTIVE—Stimulation of the retina with flickering light increases retinal vessel diameters
in humans. Nitric oxide is a mediator of the retinal vasodilation to flicker. The reduction of …

Purpose: This study investigated the associations between the responses of retinal vessels
to flickering light and the incidence and progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods: A …

Background/aim: Stimulation of the retina with flickering light increases retinal arterial and
venous diameters in animals and humans, indicating a tight coupling between neural activity …

Background Diabetic retinopathy is assumed to be due to impaired retinal autoregulation,
involving both pressure autoregulation and metabolic autoregulation. The disease displays …

Purpose.: A variety of studies have shown that flicker-induced vasodilatation is reduced in
patients with diabetes. It is, however, unclear whether reduced neural activity or abnormal …

Purpose Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading causes of blindness in the Western world.
The disease is characterized by morphological lesions secondary to disturbances in retinal …

Background Retinal vessel calibre and vascular dilation/constriction in response to flicker
light provocation may provide a measure distinguishing patients suffering from diabetes …
