Dynamic exercise alters ocular perfusion pressure and increases retinal blood flow immediately after exertion. Choroid-retina blood flow shows a more sustained increase, suggesting regional differences in autoregulation and a role for nitric oxide.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Exercise Physiology
  • Cardiovascular Research

Background:

  • Understanding ocular blood flow regulation is crucial for diagnosing and managing various eye conditions.
  • Dynamic exercise is known to influence systemic hemodynamics, but its specific effects on ocular circulation require further elucidation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the control mechanisms of ocular blood flow changes following dynamic exercise.
  • To compare the temporal responses of retinal and choroid-retina blood flow using two distinct measurement techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Healthy volunteers underwent dynamic exercise (Master's double two-step test).
  • Ocular tissue blood flow was measured using scanning laser Doppler flowmetry (SLDF) for the retina and laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) for the choroid-retina.

  • Intraocular pressure (IOP), blood pressure, plasma CO(2) (pCO(2)), and nitric oxide (NO) metabolite levels were monitored.

    • Main Results:

    • Retinal blood flow (SLDF) significantly increased at 15 minutes post-exercise.
    • Choroid-retina blood flow (LSFG) showed a significant increase lasting up to 60 minutes post-exercise.
    • Ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) increased immediately and at 15 minutes post-exercise, accompanied by elevated plasma NO metabolite levels.

    Conclusions:

    • Dynamic exercise impacts ocular perfusion pressure and leads to differential blood flow responses in the retina and choroid-retina.
    • The retina exhibits a more immediate increase in blood flow, potentially due to a stronger autoregulatory mechanism compared to the choroid-retina.
    • Nitric oxide appears to play a significant role in regulating ocular blood flow during the post-exercise period.
