Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of two antihypertensive drugs on retinal
vessel diameter in young type 1 diabetics. The retinal vessel analyzer (RVA) was used to
investigate how the drugs affected vessel diameter, when the subjects were exposed to an
increase in blood pressure, induced by isometric muscle contraction and when they were
stimulated by flickering light.
