Ocular pulse amplitude, the amplitude of the ocular pneumoplethysmographic waveform, is altered in several ophthalmologic diseases that disturb ocular blood flow, implying that ocular pulse amplitude may provide an estimate of ocular blood flow. Because ocular blood flow currently cannot be quantified in humans, two experiments were undertaken to evaluate the association of ocular pulse amplitude with total body blood flow.
