Purpose: To assess the difference of the ocular blood flow between the normal-tension glaucoma patients and normal controls. Subjects and Method:Fourteen normal tension glaucoma patients and Seventeen normal controls were compared, using the LOGIQ500 color Doppler imaging unit. The averaged age in the NTG patients was 72 y.o. rainging 60 to 84. The averaged age in the normal patients was 70 y.o. rainging 60 to 81. We tried the color Doppler imaging and pulse Doppler method to detect the blood flow of the CRA and PCA and assessed the Pulsatility index in both vessels between the two groups. Results: The pulsatility index of NTG patients was bigger than that of normal controls in both CRA(p<0.05) and PCA(p<0.05). The end-diastolic systemic blood pressure was smaller than that of normal controls.(p<0.05) Conclusion: The retrobulbar pheripheral vascular resistence of NTG patients is greater than that of the normals.
