Doppler ultrasound (US) evaluation is a complementary technique to B-mode scanning and allows a non-invasive study of local vascularization, identifying alterations of blood vessels diameter and their path, and determining quantitative parameters of blood flow and vascular resistance. Evaluation of the effects of pharmacological and surgical interventions in the ocular circulation is important in many retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, glaucomatous optic neuropathy and retinal vascular occlusion. The aim of this work is to report the development of the Doppler US technique for evaluation of hemodynamic parameters in rabbit eyes
