Summary There is increasing evidence that alterations in retinal‐choroidal blood flow play a role in the pathogenesis of atrophic diseases. Studying the oxygen saturation of retinal vessels on patients affected by glaucoma and inherited diseases of the retina, suggest the oxygen metabolism to be altered. To which extend the role of the oxygen saturation contributes to the blood flow fluctuations and thus, to the progression of atrophic disease will be discussed in this presentation.
