Steady-state conjunctival red cell velocity measurements
| Experimental subjects . | Close to non-SCD velocity (patients with nonsevere SCD complications, n = 10) . | Slower velocity (patients with severe SCD complications, n = 6) . | Intermittent trickle flow velocity (patients with nonsevere SCD complications, n = 1; patients with severe SCD complications, n = 1) . |
|---|---|---|---|
| SCD (n = 18) | 2.0 ± 0.4 mm/s | 1.4 ± 0.8 mm/s | < 0.2 mm/s |
| Non-SCD controls (n = 18) | 2.5 ± 0.6 mm/s | — | — |
