Abstract
PURPOSE: To assess blood flow in eye arteries in patients with myopia and POAG. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Doppler ultrasonography was performed in 17 patients with myopia and POAG. The following parameters were statistically analyzed: ophthalmic artery Vs (Vs OA), ciliary arteries Vs (Vs CA), central retinal artery Vs (Vs CRA) and compared to a group of myopic eyes with no POAG and a group of emmetropic eyes with no POAG. RESULTS: Statistically significant decrease of Vs in all analyzed vessels was detected as compared to normal age ranges (a group of emmetropic eyes with no POAG). Statistically significant decrease of Vs in OA and CRA was detected as compared to Vs in myopic eyes with no POAG. CONCLUSIONS: Statistically significant decrease of Vs in patients with myopia and POAG indicates poor perfusion in eye ball vessels.
