The feasibility of using laser Doppler velocimetry to measure retinal blood flow was first demonstrated in 1972 by Riva, Ross and Benedek1. Since that time two groups have been following independent programmes aimed at producing a clinical instrument for this purpose. This paper will describe the application of laser Doppler velocimetry to retinal blood flow measurements, paying particular attention to an instrument developed as a collaborative project between R.S.R.E. Malvern and the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
