Conclusion: Deeper glaucomatous visual field defects are associated with decreased arteriovenous difference in retinal oxygen saturation and possibly a decreased oxygen delivery to the retinal tissues—perhaps resulting from less oxygen consumption because of degeneration of the retina and glaucomatous damage.
Umræða: Svæði með dýpri glákuskemmd hafa minni mun í súrefnismettum milli slagæðlinga og bláæðlinga og hugsanlega minni súrefnisflutning til vefsins. Þetta kann að stafa af minni súrefnisnotkunar vegna rýrnunar sjónhimnu og glákuskemmda.
