Purpose
To compare ocular blood flow in patients with glaucoma juvenile and in normal subjects.
Material and methods
20 glaucoma juvenile subjects and 20 persons as a control group aged 13 and 17, were matched for intraocular presssure and pulsatile ocular blood flow using pulsatile ocular blood flow (POBF).
Results
A positive correlation was found between ocular blood flow in patients with glaucoma juvenile and normal subjects.
Conclusions
1) POBF is a new and simple tool for the measurement intraocular pressure and pulsatile ocular blood flow and may be useful for diagnosis of the glaucoma. 2) We found a significant difference between ocular blood flow in glaucoma juvenile patients and normal subjects.
Keywords
