Abstract

PURPOSE: This study aimed to assess vascular endothelial function in patients with ocular hypertension (OHT) or primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) by measuring: (a) endothelium-dependent flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) of the brachial artery, and (b) circulating endothelial progenitor cells, which are believed to support the integrity of the vascular endothelium. METHODS: We enrolled 25 patients with OHT, 23 with POAG and 26 control subjects, all of whom were aged
