Eye Blood Vessels (Retinal Vasculature / Ophthalmic Circulation)

Blood vessels in your eye deliver oxygen and nutrients to keep your vision working. These tiny vessels (called retinal vasculature or ophthalmic circulation) can be damaged by diabetes, high blood pressure, or other conditions. Keeping blood vessels healthy is essential for good vision.
