ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Glaucoma is a common cause of blindness worldwide. This disease is characterised by increased intraocular pressure (IOP) and the concomitant disruption of ocular haemodynamic. Several studies have demonstrated that trabeculectomy is associated with changes in extraocular blood flow. In this study, we reviewed the available evidence on the use of colour Doppler imaging to evaluate and manage patients with open-angle glaucoma. We present the detailed anatomy of ocular blood flow to provide a background for the research findings. We also discuss the physiological foundations of ocular blood flow and detailed flow characteristics of specific extraocular vessels. Finally, we reviewed published studies that analysed the effects of glaucoma surgery on the blood flow parameters of the eye.
