Purpose(1) To characterize the retrobulbar circulation in patients with optic disc drusen (ODD) using colour Doppler imaging; (2) to explore the differences in retrobulbar hemodynamics in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).MethodsRetrospective analysis using three diagnostic groups: patients with ODD, age-matched healthy controls and age- and visual defect-matched patients with POAG. Subjects with history of ocular trauma or ocular diseases including vascular-related diseases were excluded. Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman's correlation tests were performed to compare and explore the correlations between the hemodynamic parameters and visual field damage.ResultsSixty patients were included and equally divided between the three groups. Patients with ODD had lower systolic and diastolic flow velocities in the central retinal artery (CRA) when compared to healthy individuals, but no difference was found with the glaucoma group (p
