简要总结
Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. Literature shows increasing evidence that dysfunction of ocular microcirculation in the optic nerve influences the progression of glaucoma. It has been shown that flicker light-induced vasodilatation of retinal veins is diminished in patients with glaucoma. Also previous studies indicate that the blood flow autoregulation is impaired in patients with glaucoma. Therefor the ocular perfusion pressure can not be maintained stable during changes of the systemic arterial blood pressure. Laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) represents a non-invasive method to quantify ocular perfusion also at the ONH. LSFG enables noninvasive quantification of microcirculation of the optic disc in Japanese glaucoma patients.
Study Objectives:
To assess the changes in LSFG parameters in patients with normal tension glaucoma, compared to healthy subjects during flicker light stimulation and isometric exercises.

入选标准
- •Study population: patients with normal tension glaucoma
- •Caucasian men and women aged over 50 years
- •Subject is generally healthy with no current significant or a history of a significant neurological, cardiovascular, pulmonary (including asthma), hepatic, metabolic, rheumatic, autoimmune, hematological or renal disorder, as determined by the investigator's clinical judgment through collection of medical history and performance of a physical examination. A significant disorder is defined as a disease or medical condition associated with impaired health status, requiring regular or current medical treatment and/or follow up. For the purposes of this study, an investigator may classify a medical condition as a nonsignificant disorder despite the fact that the subject receives treatment. Subjects having controlled Stage 1 hypertension (blood pressure of 140-159 mmHg systolic and/or 90-99 mmHg diastolic) are eligible for participation in this study
- •Normal open angle in a gonioscopic examination
- •Presence of glaucomatous optic disc changes in biomicroscopy and
- •Visual field defects in at least two visual field examinations (Reliability criteria: fixation errors < 20%, false positives < 15%, and false negatives < 33%) Or
- •Abnormal circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thinning (RNFL evaluated by OCT)
- •Control group
- •Men and women aged over 18 years
- •Subject is generally healthy with no current significant or a history of a significant neurological, cardiovascular, pulmonary (including asthma), hepatic, metabolic, rheumatic, autoimmune, hematological or renal disorder, as determined by the investigator's clinical judgment through collection of medical history and performance of a physical examination. A significant disorder is defined as a disease or medical condition associated with impaired health status, requiring regular or current medical treatment and/or follow up. For the purposes of this study, an investigator may classify a medical condition as a nonsignificant disorder despite the fact that the subject receives treatment. Subjects having controlled Stage 1 hypertension (blood pressure of 140-159 mmHg systolic and/or 90-99 mmHg diastolic) are eligible for participation in this study
- •Baseline IOP in both eyes below 21 mm Hg
- •Normal findings in slitlamp and funduscopic examination
排除标准

- •Opacities of the cornea (e.g. corneal scars, corneal oedema), the lens (e.g. LOCS-II grading > 2, posterior capsule opacification) or the vitreous (e.g. vitreous haemorrhage, asteroid hyalosis)
- •Patients who are not able to cooperate or with insufficient ability to fixate (tremor, nystagmus)
- •Blood donation in the 3 weeks preceding the study
- •Symptoms of a clinically relevant illness in the 3 weeks before the first study day
