Retinal Microvascualture and Systemic Diseases – webinar replay
In this insightful discussion on retinal vasculature as a window into systemic health, Dr. Céline Faure and Prof. Michel Paques presented:
- novel microvascular assessments enabled by adaptive optics (AO) retinal imaging and flicker stimulation,
- how it provides valuable insights and new research perspectives for systemic disorders.
The pathologies discussed include: chronic kidney disease, hypertension, diabetes, cognitive impairment.
We are grateful to Dr. Céline Faure and Prof. Michel Paques for sharing their findings and methods from clinical research studies conducted 15-20 National Eye Hospital and Saint-Martin Private Hospital using rtx1 AO retinal cameras.
Which microvascular assessments are relevant to your disease of interest? and how to implement such assessments in your investigations or developments?
We can connect to discuss your research questions.

About the panelists:
Céline Faure, MD, is an ophthalmologist at Saint Martin Hospital in Caen who specializes in medical and surgical retina. She was also an attached practitioner at Quinze-Vingts National Eye Hospital for five years and former clinical fellow at Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild. Dr. Faure’s research focuses on retinal conditions and therapies. In the IRIR study conducted in collaboration with the Nephrology department, she investigated the prognostic value of microvascular metrics obtained with rtx1 AO camera in patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease.
Michel Paques, MD PhD, is a professor of ophthalmology at the Quinze-Vingts National Eye Hospital, and a researcher at the Vision Institute. Prof. Paques’ research addresses the medical applications of ultrahigh-resolution retinal imaging. He pioneered the development of clinical applications of adaptive optics (AO) ophthalmoscopy for retinal diseases, as well as systemic conditions such as arterial hypertension. As part of the SHIVA RHU program, Prof. Paques is currently investigating retinal microvascular changes associated with cognitive impairment.
