Evaluating pulsatile ocular blood flow analysis in normal and treated glaucomatous eyes

摘要: Abstract Purpose : To evaluate pulsatile ocular blood flow (POBF) analysis in normal subjects and glaucoma patients by comparison of POBF measurements with functional (as determined visual field [VF]) structural optical coherence tomography [OCT]) measures. Design Prospective, cross-sectional study. Methods Forty-one eyes 24 consecutive 20 10 healthy were studied; was performed on all at the same visit as VF testing OCT retinal nerve fiber layer (NFL) thickness measurement. The mean results glaucomatous compared for each method. Correlation between obtained modality discriminating power using receiver operator characteristic curves tested. Results (standard deviation [SD]) group 1,010.4 (292.8) μl/min 989.3 (305.5) ( P = .90). Significant differences groups found pattern standard .02, .004, respectively) NFL .003). area under higher indexes than parameters distinguishing eyes. Conclusions wide range values low limits clinical use device patients.
