    Retinal arteriolar width did not significantly change in normal patients or those with low-tension glaucoma (LTG), primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), or ocular hypertension (OH). This suggests glaucoma does not impact these specific retinal vessel measurements.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Optometry
    • Vascular Biology

    Background:

    • Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness.
    • Retinal microvasculature changes are implicated in glaucoma pathogenesis.
    • Quantifying retinal arteriolar width may offer insights into glaucoma progression.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate potential alterations in retinal arteriolar width across different glaucoma classifications.
    • To compare retinal arteriolar measurements between healthy individuals and glaucoma patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Retinal arteriolar width was measured at three specific locations: optic nerve merge (MD), optic nerve edge (ED), and peripapillary area (disc distance D).
    • Measurements were performed using HRT software 1.11 and the Interactive Means program.

  • The study included 143 eyes from 72 patients across four groups: normal, low-tension glaucoma (LTG), primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), and ocular hypertensive (OH).

    • Main Results:

    • No statistically significant differences in retinal arteriolar width were observed within any of the studied groups.
    • Normal patients exhibited no significant changes in retinal arteriolar width when compared to all glaucoma subgroups.

    Conclusions:

    • Retinal arteriolar width measurements at the optic nerve and peripapillary area do not appear to be significantly affected by LTG, POAG, or OH.
    • These findings suggest that specific retinal arteriolar measurements may not serve as a direct indicator for the presence or type of glaucoma studied.
