Abstract
The reduction of perifoveal capillary blood flow velocity may occur before the increase of retinal thickness at the central fovea in the diabetic patients. It is possible that long-term reduction of blood flow velocity increases retinal thickness of the macula and may play an important role in the development and the progression of diabetic macular edema.
