Objective: To study and observe the change situation of fundus blood flow state of patients with open-angle glaucoma before and after the treatment. Methods: A total of 60 patients with open-angle glaucoma treated in our hospital from October 2013 to May 2015 were selected as the observation group, and 60 healthy persons with physical examination at the same period were the control group, then the RI, PI, PSV, EDV and VM levels of ocular artery, central retinal artery and posterior ciliary artery of observation group before the treatment and at 2th, 4th, 8th and 12th week after the treatment and control group were compared. Results: The RI and PI levels of ocular artery, central retinal artery and posterior ciliary artery of observation group before the treatment and at 2th, 4th and 8th week after the treatment were higher than those of control group, while the PSV, EDV and VM levels of ocular artery, central retinal artery and posterior ciliary artery were lower than those of control group. The detection results of observation group at different time after the treatment were better than those before the treatment, and there were significant differences (P<0.05), but those analysis indexes of observation group at 12th week after the treatment and control group had no significant difference (P>0.05).Conclusions: The changes of fundus blood flow state of patients with open-angle glaucoma before and after the treatment are great, and the various artery blood flow presents continuous improvement.
