Scanning laser Doppler flowmeter study of retinal blood flow in macular area of healthy volunteers

Table 1

Mean blood flow (MBF) values

Right eye Left eye R/L ratio
AU  =  arbitrary units.
Data are expressed as mean (SD). R/L  =  ratio of the right eye to the left eye. S/I  =  ratio of the superior area to inferior area. No significant difference was found in the MBF between both eyes in both superior (p = 0.627) and inferior (p = 0.351) areas. No significant difference was found in the MBF between superior and inferior areas in each eye (p = 0.765 in right eye and p = 0.316 in left eye).
Superior area 283.81 (60.40) (AU) 282.63 (46.64) (AU) 1.00 (0.11)
Inferior area 282.01 (54.12) (AU) 275.17 (52.20) (AU) 1.03 (0.13)
S/I ratio 1.01 (0.15) 1.04 (0.11)
