Differences were observed in blood flow, morphology and metabolites in the visual cortex between POAG (patients with primary open angle glaucoma) patients and age-matched normal controls, suggesting that rCBF and/or VBM may be used as a specific and sensitive marker in assessing brain injury in glaucoma patients.
