Summary

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. 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

Conditions

• Glaucoma, Primary Open Angle

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Laser Speckle Flowgraphy	A commercially available LSFG system (LSFG-NAVI; Softcare Co., Ltd., Fukuoka, Japan) will be used in the present study. The LSFG device consists of a fundus camera equipped with a diode laser with a wavelength if 830 nm and charge-coupled device.
