• Central retinal artery
• gestational diabetes mellitus
• insulin treatment
• ophthalmic artery
• short posterior ciliary arteries

Objective: To evaluate the blood flow in orbital arteries in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
Material: We have examined 65 GDM patients and 38 healthy pregnant women at 28-32 weeks. Doppler parameters were assessed in ophthalmic, central retinal and short posterior ciliary arteries.
Results: In ophthalmic arteries V2 was significantly higher and RI lower in GDM. In the subgroup treated with insulin V1 and V2 in ciliary artery and V2 in central retinal artery were significantly lower and PI in ciliary artery was higher when compared to subgroup on diet.
Conclusion: Doppler examination can be useful in detection of pre-clinical ophthalmological changes in GDM patients.
