The aim of the study is to validate and calibrate the Doppler spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) derived total retinal blood flow (TRBF) and metabolic hyperspectral retinal camera (MHRC) derived oxygen saturation (SO2) of major retinal vessels in human volunteers using a novel and exact provocation technique (RespirAct) that allows the precise control of the end-tidal partial pressure of oxygen (PETO2). Between visit repeatability of the TRBF and retinal blood SO2 also were studied.
