Abstract
The capillary bed is the most important component in the entire vascular system, because this is where actual nutrition to an organ takes place. His [1] in 1880 seems to have been first to describe the retinal capillaries. Later on Leber [2], in his book in 1903, gave a description of the retinal capillaries. However, the main contribution to our understanding of the retinal capillary network has been by the outstanding studies by Michaelson and Campbell [3–7] and later on by Kuwabara and colleagues [8–12].
