OBJECTIVE: To discuss the hemodynamic crises in optic nerve and retina in primary open-angle glaucoma with IOP below 22 mmHg. METHODS: The perfusion of the optic nerve head and retina in 150 eyes of 82 primary open-angle glaucoma individuals with normal IOP was measured with confocal scanning laser Doppler retinal flowmetry. RESULTS: The average volume, flow and velocity of the vessels were 104.35 ± 49.24, 3 243.93 ± 1 589.72, 8.38 ± 3.07 in optic nerve head, 7.28 ± 4.18, 108.55 ± 80.51, 0.39 ± 0.25 in lamina cribrosa, 20.21 ± 16.86, 529.91 ± 520.74, 1.68 ± 1.32 in rim, 13.56 ± 5.97, 257.90 ± 138.11, 0.92 ± 0.46 in juxtapapillary retina and 17.96 ± 6.23, 350.39 ± 179.82, 1.23 ± 0.57 in retina. The volume, flow and velocity in vessel, laminar cribrosa and retina were significantly reduced compared with the normal eyes. CONCLUSION: Primary open-angle glaucoma has hemodynamic crisis.
