摘要
We compared the capillary blood-cell velocity in the fingertips of 30 patients with high-tension glaucoma, 30 patients with normal-tension glaucoma, and 30 control subjects by nailfold capillaroscopy. There were no measurable differences in the morphologic findings. The blood-flow velocity, however, was reduced significantly in the patients with normal-tension glaucoma compared with the control subjects (P < .05). This difference was especially pronounced after cold provocation (P < .0005). After cooling, 25 of 30 patients with normal-tension glaucoma had a blood standstill of 12 seconds or more, whereas only three of 30 control subjects and four of 30 patients with high-tension glaucoma had a measurable blood standstill.
