We investigated whether the change in ocular blood flow, induced by hypo-and hypercapnia, is related to static visual acuity. Eleven healthy subjects (26 +/- 5 years) underwent three treatments. A three-treatment three-period crossover design was used. In the hypocapnia treatment (HYPO), the subjects controlled their minute ventilation (V-E) to a target of 25 L/min for 6 min. In the hypercapnia treatment (HYPER), the subjects inspired high-fraction CO2 gas (FICO2 = 4%) for 6 min. In the control treatment (CON), V-E was not manipulated. We measured choroidal and retinal blood flow by laser speckle flowmetry as ocular blood flow, and static visual acuity using the Landolt C chart End-tidal partial pressure of CO2 differed significantly among HYPO. HYPER and CON (21 +/- 1. 48 +/- 1. and 42 +/- 1 mmHg, respectively). Retinal blood flow decreased significantly from the baseline in HYPO (-22 +/- 5%), but increased significantly in HYPER (+3 +/- 9%) compared to CON. Decimal visual acuity was significantly lower in HYPO than in the CON (0.21 +/- 0.1 vs. 0.24 +/- 0.1 P
