Oxygen venular saturation correlates with a functional loss in primary open-angle glaucoma and normal-tension glaucoma patients.

Although there was no significant difference in retinal SaO2 in the venules between the better and worse hemifield when the difference between the better and worse hemifield in the patients with POAG was <5 dB, there was a higher SaO2 in the venous vessels in the worse hemifield in the patients with NTG.
