Abstract

Sound made by the flow of blood in the retinal blood vessel system of the human eye which, when the exposed portion thereof is partially or completely immersed in a body of acoustically transmissive liquid (ATL), are directly coupled to the acoustically transmitted liquid and thus launched into the acoustically transmitted liquid. The blood vessel system of the human eye has a unique acoustic signature in the infrasonic range. Injured or diseased eyes have unique acoustic signatures e.g., sound they make, which are launched into the ATL and thus each individual retinal blood flow system make or produce a unique pattern of noise or sounds which are normally inaudible, but when immersed in a body of water can be detected by hydrophones or underwater microphones. The invention has use in medical diagnosis of eye ailments as well as providing a baseline for future diagnosis of human eyes.
