    • Introduction: Normal-tension glaucoma has been associated with systemic vascular diseases such as peripheral vasospasm. This study aims to evaluate the influence of peripheral vasospasm on the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in Raynaud’s disease (RD), and the correlation between global RNFL and peripheral microcirculation features in RD patients. Methods: Observational cross-sectional study of 18 patients (35 eyes) with a diagnosis of RD followed in our clinic, and 20 healthy… CONTINUE READING
