Abstract
⺠Reduced ocular perfusion pressure is a risk factor for the prevalence, incidence and progression of glaucoma. ⺠The death of retinal ganglion cells appears to involve primary and secondary insults. ⺠Reduced OPP may enhance both primary and secondary insults. ⺠Abnormal autoregulation and neurovascular coupling may lead to ganglion cell death.
