Abstract
These population-based data suggest that generalized retinal arteriolar narrowing, an indicator of localized vascular change, is significantly associated with optic nerve damage caused by OAG. It is not clear whether such a retinal arteriolar change reflects an ischemic process leading to optic nerve damage or results from loss of retinal neurons secondary to glaucoma.
