Lack of spontaneous venous pulsation: possible risk indicator in normal tension glaucoma?

Purpose:  Recently, the absence of spontaneous venous pulsation (SVP) has been suggested as a vascular risk factor for primary open‐angle glaucoma (POAG). As the mechanism behind this phenomenon is still unknown, the authors have studied this vascular component using colour Doppler imaging (CDI).
