A new method for the measurement of oxygen saturation at the human ocular fundus

The investigation of changes in the metabolism as a functional diagnosis is a promising way for the detection of early reversible pathological alterations before they get manifest. Such a functional parameter of the microcirculation is the oxygen saturation of blood. The oxygen saturation in an artery describes in the connection with the blood flow the supply of oxygen in a certain region of the fundus. The consumption of oxygen is proportional to the product of the arterio-venous difference in the oxygen saturation and the blood flow.
