The IR in the ophthalmic artery was normal in more than 85% of patients. The VSM of the central artery of the retina was within normal ranges in 85% of cases. The VSM of the ophthalmic artery was normal in 67% of examinations. The pathologies were diagnosed more hemovitreous followed cataract and vitreous degeneration.

Conclusions: Both the values of IR and VSM were within the normal range in a high percentage.
