Accessibility to the bulbar conjunctival microvasculature provides a means to assess blood supply to the cerebral cortex and thus optimize therapeutic interventions designed to prevent or reduce the risk of cerebral vascular disease and stroke. The feasibility of a method for quantitative measurements of conjunctiva blood vessel diameter, blood velocity, and flow in the human eye is reported. The method is based on slit lamp biomicroscope digital imaging coupled with a space time image analysis technique. A sequence of conjunctiva microvasculature images were captured at a rate of 50 Hz. The images were analyzed to determine blood vessel diameter, velocity and flow. Blood vessel diameter measurements ranged between 8.7 and 24.3 microns, with a mean value of 15.5 microns. Blood flow rate ranged between 27.3 and 296.9 pl/s, with a mean value of 111.8 pl/s. The relationship between blood flow and vessel diameter was fit with a power law curve (R = 0.87). The application of this technique for in vivo quantitative assessment of blood flow dynamics has potential to impact diagnosis and monitoring of various cardiovascular and blood disorders.
