OAG patients had a significant negative correlation between changes in rim blood flow and maximum finger Doppler flow. Among ocular hypertension patients, increased rim blood flow was only found in the vasospastic group, though this increase was not statistically significant. These results suggest that open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension patients with the most severe vasospastic disease may show the greatest improvements in rim blood flow after sustained intraocular pressure reduction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
