Studies seeking to identify biomarkers for depressive disorder diagnosis and treatment have not yet found any one candidate which achieves a sufficient sensitivity and specificity. The aim of the study was to find a possible association between retinal microvascular abnormality and major depression in a non-geriatric study population. The participants with major depression were hospitalised at the University Hospital in Hradec Kralove, Department of Psychiatry. Retinal images were obtained using a stationary Fundus camera FF450 by Zeiss and a hand-held camera by oDocs. Fifty patients (men N = 18, women N = 32) aged 16 to 55 (men's average age 33.7±9.9 years, women's average age 37.9±11.5 years) were compared with fifty mentally healthy subjects (men N = 28, women N = 22) aged 18 to 61 (men's average age 35.3±9.2 years, women's average age 36.6±10.6 years) in a cross- sectional design.
