Primary open-angle glaucoma is a condition with multiple risk factors. Although intraocular pressure is the most established among them, vascular factors and ocular blood flow (OBF) also play a significant role, especially in patients of normal tension glaucoma. This review article discusses the various vascular factors and the various methods of measurement of OBF with their clinical importance.
