Doppler OCT retinal blood flow measurements, combined with RNFLT, improved normal tension glaucoma diagnosis, detecting reduced blood flow even in structurally normal-appearing areas.

This study found retinal blood flow (RBF) is reduced in both damaged and seemingly healthy hemispheres of normal-tension glaucoma eyes, even independent of nerve fiber layer thinning. This suggests RBF reduction is a widespread factor in NTG.
