| Abstract | PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the associations between retinal vessel diameter and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG). METHODS: This study included 67 untreated patients with asymmetric NTG, with no evidence of glaucoma in the contralateral eyes, and 48 age- and sex-matched normal control subjects. We included patients from 20 to 70 years of age who had no history of hypertension, diabetes, or other vascular diseases. All subjects underwent detailed eye examinations that included red-free photography, stereoscopic optic disc photography, automated perimetry, and measurement of RNFL thickness with optical coherence tomography. We compared RNFL thicknesses, temporal retinal arteriolar diameters (TRAD), and temporal retinal venular diameters (between quadrants with and without RNFL defects) with computer-assisted imaging software. RESULTS: The mean diameter of the temporal retinal vessels in the quadrants with RNFL defects were significantly smaller in patients with NTG than in those with quadrants without RNFL defects (P < 0.001) and in control subjects (P < 0.001). TRADs were correlated with RNFL defects and RNFL thicknesses (P < 0.05) in binary logistic regression analysis and in multiple linear regression analysis (P < 0.001). There were no statistically significant differences between vessel diameters in control subjects and those in nondefective quadrants of the affected NTG eyes or the unaffected eyes of patients with NTG. CONCLUSIONS: Our results show that narrower retinal vessels are found in areas of RNFL defects. Considering previous reports and our analysis, this is likely due to the decreased demand for retinal blood flow in damaged areas of the retina. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
