Pulsatile ocular blood flow in patients with low tension glaucoma.
Measurements of the intraocular pressure (IOP) pulse and pulsatile ocular blood flow (POBF) have been made in 22 patients with bilateral low tension glaucoma (LTG) and 29 healthy subjects matched as closely as possible for age, refractive error, IOP, systemic pulse pressure, and heart rate. Recordings were made in both the standing and supine positions. The amplitude of the intraocular pressure...
متن کاملOcular Blood Flow and Normal Tension Glaucoma
Normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is known as a multifactorial optic neuropathy characterized by progressive retinal ganglion cell death and glaucomatous visual field loss, even though the intraocular pressure (IOP) does not exceed the normal range. The pathophysiology of NTG remains largely undetermined. It is hypothesized that the abnormal ocular blood flow is involved in the pathogenesis of this...
متن کاملEffect of oral nifedipine on ocular blood flow in patients with low tension glaucoma.
AIM To investigate the effect of oral nifedipine on ocular blood flow in patients with low tension glaucoma (LTG). METHODS In this prospective study we examined the effects of 3 weeks of treatment with oral nifedipine 30 mg/day in 11 patients with LTG, by using colour Doppler ultrasound imaging to measure haemodynamic variables in the central retinal (CRA), short posterior ciliary (SPCA), and...
متن کاملPulsatile ocular blood flow investigation in asymmetric normal tension glaucoma and normal subjects.
AIMS This study was designed to investigate pulsatile ocular blood flow (POBF) in normal tension glaucoma (NTG) patients and in normal controls. NTG patients with unilateral field loss were evaluated to compare POBF values between eyes with and without field loss. METHODS POBF measurements from more than 1500 subjects were collected during a period of 6 months from six optometric centres. Sub...
متن کاملPulsatile Ocular Blood Flow in Healthy Koreans
PURPOSE To determine the normal reference range of pulsatile ocular blood flow (POBF) values in healthy Korean subjects and to find out the factors that may affect them. METHODS A total of 280 eyes of 280 normal subjects were included in this study. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), axial length, POBF, systemic blood pressure, and pulse rate were measured. The m...
