Changes in the retrobulbar hemodynamic parameters after decreasing the elevated intraocular pressure in primary open-angle glaucoma patients.

Introduction: Ocular blood flow (OBF) disturbances could be involved both in the pathogenesis and in progression of glaucomatous damage.

Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the retrobulbar hemodynamic parameters in the ophthalmic artery (OA), central retinal artery (CRA) and short posterior cilliary arteries (SPCA) after decreasing the elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients by using color Doppler imaging (CDI).

Methods: We examined 60 patients (21 male and 39 female) with diagnosed and treated POAG.

Changes in the retrobulbar arterial circulation after decrease of the elevated intraocular pressure in men and women with primary open angle glaucoma.

Introduction: An altered perfusion of the optic nerve head has been proposed as a pathogenic factor of glaucoma.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes of the hemodynamic parameters in the retrobulbar arterial circulation after decrease of the elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in women and men with primary open angle glaucoma.

Methods: The study included 60 patients (33 males and 27 females) older than 50 years, with diagnosed and treated primary open angle glaucoma (77 eyes of 39 patients had increased IOP, > 25 mm Hg).

Changes in the retrobulbar arterial circulation after decrease of elevated intraocular pressue in patients with primary open angle glaucoma.

Introduction: An altered perfusion of the optic nerve head has been proposed as a pathogenic factor in glaucoma.

Objective: To evaluate changes of haemodynamic parameters in the retrobulbar arterial circulation after a decrease of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG).

Methods: Twenty-six patients were examined, 14 men and 12 women, 21 up to 50 years old and 5 below, all with previously diagnosed and treated POAG, and all examined at the Eye Clinic, Clinical Centre of Serbia.

Correlation between ocular pulse amplitude measured by dynamic contour tonometer and colour Doppler flow imaging of the arteric retrobulbar vessels.

Introduction: An altered perfusion of the optic nerve head has been proposed as a pathogenic factor in glaucoma.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between ocular pulse amplitude (OPA), measured by Dynamic contour tonometer (DCT) and colour Doppler imaging (CDI) of the arteric retrobulbar vessels.

Methods: Twenty patients older than 50 years were examined, and divided into two equal groups.

[Prevention of intraocular pressure elevation after argon laser trabeculoplasty in primary open angle glaucoma].

Introduction: Argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) is an intraocular pressure lowering method that is overall safe and powerful, but often complicated by transient postoperative intraocular pressure rises. In prevention of this complication, we frequently use two potent alpha-adrenergic agonists--brimonidine and apraclonidine.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare brimonidine 0.

Correlation between central corneal thickness and intraocular pressure in various age groups.

Introduction: The Pascal Dynamic Contour Tonometer (DCT) is an ophthalmic investigational device which directly calculates the dynamic pulsatile fluctuations in intraocular pressure (IOP) using a piezoelectric pressure sensor embedded in the devices tip.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare IOP results obtained with Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT), and their correlation with central corneal thickness (CCT) in patients of various age groups.

Methods: We studied 37 patients (17 male and 20 female), divided into three age groups: younger than 40 years; 40-60 years old, and older than 60 years.
