Ocular Blood Flow and Visual Function

Dear Colleagues,

Ocular blood flow (OBF) and its regulation are obviously crucial for visual function; its disturbance induces various ocular diseases. The autoregulation of OBF functions as a physiological response to postural changes and intraocular pressure changes. OBF measurement techniques have been developed in recent years with the introduction of several new techniques. Particularly, optical coherence tomography angiography and laser speckle flowgraphy are both noninvasive imaging devices that detect OBF through the motion contrast generated by red blood cells.

This Special Issue focuses on the relationship between OBF and visual function in physiological or pathological conditions. For example, research regarding the impact of OBF disturbances on the progression of glaucoma or other ocular diseases would be welcome.
