The Evolution of Retinal Vessel Analysis in Ophthalmology

Authored by Henner Hanssen and Walthard Vilser, this comprehensive guide chronicles the remarkable journey of retinal vessel analysis, from its humble beginnings in the 19th century to its current status as a vital tool in cardiovascular prevention.

Following the introduction of the ophthalmoscope, ophthalmologists noticed distinct changes in the caliber of the blood column and vessel walls of arteries and veins, particularly in connection with systemic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. This groundbreaking observation paved the way for the development of a new microvascular diagnostic method, which has revolutionized risk stratification and treatment guidance.
