Change of retrobulbar artery hemodynamics and bulbar conjunctival microcirculation indexes of patients with optic atrophy

AIM:To study and observe the change of retrobulbar artery hemodynamics and bulbar conjunctival microcirculation indexes of patients with optic atrophy.<p>METHODS: Seventy patients with optic atrophy in our hospital from April 2013 to October 2014 were selected as observation group, 70 healthy persons with the same age at the same time were the control group. Retrobulbar artery hemodynamics and bulbar conjunctival microcirculation indexes of two groups were compared, those detection indexes of observation group with different types and severity degree were compared too.<p>RESULTS: The retrobulbar artery hemodynamics and bulbar conjunctival microcirculation indexes of observation group were all worse than those of control group, and the detection results of observation group with severe optic atrophy were worse than those of patients with mild and moderate optic atrophy, and the detection results of patients with moderate optic atrophy were all worse than those of patients with mild optic atrophy(all <i>P</i><0.05), there were all significant differences, while the detection results of patients with different types of optic atrophy had no significant differences(all <i>P</i>>0.05).<p>CONCLUSION: The change of retrobulbar artery hemodynamics and bulbar conjunctival microcirculation indexes of patients with optic atrophy are great, and the influence of the disease severity degree for the detection results are great
