Précis: Optic nerve head (ONH) perfusion was not significantly altered in subjects with normal tension glaucoma (NTG) nor in healthy individuals after performing the water drinking test (WDT), because of its limited effect on ocular perfusion pressure (OPP). Purpose: ONH blood flow can be maintained...
