Using SD-OCT and standard automated perimetry, investigators evaluated retinal blood flow (RBF) in glaucomatous eyes with single-hemifield damage in comparison with healthy controls. They found that RBF was reduced in the hemisphere corresponding to the abnormal hemifield, and the reduced RBF was associated with thinner retinal nerve fiber layer and ganglion cell complex thicknesses in the corresponding hemisphere. The RBF in the hemisphere with apparently normal visual field was reduced compared with the mean hemispheric flow values in the healthy eyes. Ophthalmology, March 2014
