To examine the relationship between change in optic nerve head (ONH) morphology and retinal blood flow in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) of African (AD) and European descent (ED) over three years. 112 patients with OAG (29 AD; 83 ED) underwent assessment of ONH morphology using Heidelberg retinal tomography (HRT-III) and retinal blood flow using confocal scanning laser Doppler. Repeated measures analysis of covariance was used to compare baseline and 3-year measurements and Pearson correlations were calculated to evaluate the relationships. In OAG patients of AD, change in superior mean retinal blood flow was strongly, negatively correlated with change in cup/disc (C/D) area ratio (r=−0.78, p=0.020) and cup area (r=−0.75, p=0.0283) and strongly, positively correlated with change in rim area (r=0.74, p=0.0328) over three years. In OAG patients of AD, change in inferior mean retinal blood flow was strongly, negatively correlated with changes in C/D area ratio (r=−0.88, p=0.0156) and linear C/D ratio (r=−0.86, p=0.0265) over three years. In OAG patients of ED, these correlations were weak and did not reach statistical significance. OAG patients of AD may have a stronger vascular component to their glaucoma pathophysiology than patients of ED.
