Abstract

This study suggests that epinephrine, used in combination with intravitreal infusion solution, may decrease ONH blood flow during vitreous surgeries, as indicated by measurements obtained via a modified LSFG technique. Attention must be paid to the effects of intravitreal infusion of epinephrine on ocular circulation, particularly ONH blood flow.
