Abstract

A few clinical investigations have additionally demonstrated that non-physiologic nighttime BP and more extensive circadian vacillation in mean visual perfusion weight (MOPP) are altogether connected with the advancement and movement of OAG [2]. Nonetheless, in Asian populace, the connection between perfusion weight and glaucoma has not been all around recorded [3]. It is known through numerous investigations that BP and IOP change impressively in whites, blacks, and Asians [4], and consequently it is hypothesized that the conveyance and determinants of perfusion weight and its association with glaucoma would be diverse among the Asian population[5].
