Description
Carlo Bellucci and six colleagues published a systematic review in two thousand twenty-five on a laser method for eye blood flow. Laser speckle flowgraphy reads retinal and choroidal flow without injections, from the pattern of scattered laser light. The team gathered its use in two major eye diseases.
Twenty-three studies covering nine hundred seventy-four eyes were analysed. In age-related macular degeneration, flow ran low even beyond visibly damaged areas. Injections for the disease dipped flow briefly, with drug-specific sizes of dip. In diabetic eye disease, the method caught early flow problems in symptom-free eyes, and readings tracked blood sugar control and disease stage. Low starting flow predicted weaker treatment response in swollen retinas.
