Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Vascular Microcirculation in Eyes With Glaucoma and Single-Hemifield Visual Field Loss

Abstract

Reduced RNFL microcirculation was detected in the normal hemisphere of eyes with glaucoma, with strong correspondence with VF loss and RNFL thinning. Although the results suggest that vascular dysfunction precedes structural changes seen in glaucoma, longitudinal studies would be needed to confirm this finding.
