Variations in Retinal Oxygen Saturation in a Diverse Healthy Population.

Purpose: Local retinal oxygen saturation is a research technique, which has the potential as a biomarker for diabetes. However, normative data has not been established. This study examined differences in oxygen saturation around the macula and characterizes the relationship between age, race, refractive error (RE), sex, blood pressure (BP), prediabetic status and oxygen saturation.
