Retrobulbar Hemodynamics and Visual Field Progression in Normal Tension Glaucoma: A Long-Term Follow-Up Study

Table 1

CDI measurements in patients with NTG () of the ophthalmic artery (OA), central retinal artery (CRA), and nasal and temporal posterior ciliary arteries (PCAs). The peak systolic velocities (PSV), end-diastolic velocities (EDV), and resistive indices (RI) are displayed (mean and SD).
