Abstract:
The study was carried out on 70 patients with type 2 diabetes (28 male, 42 female from 37-77 years old) at the Institute of Geriatry – Bach Mai Hospital. In comparing the blood flow velocity of central artery of retina in the diabetes group and the control group, during various stages of damages of fundus oeuli, fllowing X-ray radiographic image and the variation of blood flow velocity in different times of the disease. Results showed the obions decrease of velocity in systolic and diastolic phases at the retimal central artery in comparing with the control. X-ray image showed the decrease progressively of the blood flow velocity in the course of fundus oculi. This is an indicator for assessing indirectly the evolution of pathological processus of retina. The longer diabetes course, the lesser blood flow velocity in retinal central artery
