PURPOSE: To test the hypothesis that optic nerve head (ONH) blood flow (BF) and autoregulation compromise are consequences of optic nerve degeneration induced by surgical optic nerve transection (ONT).
METHODS: In both eyes of five nonhuman primates, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) was measured by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Optic nerve head BF and dynamic autoregulation responses to a rapid manometric IOP increase (from 10-40 mm Hg) were measured by Laser Speckle Flowgraphy. The measurements were conducted every 10 to 15 days before and after unilateral ONT. Post-ONT measurements were repeated until RNFLT in the ONT eye was reduced by more than 40% of baseline value.
RESULTS: After ONT, RNFLT, and ONH BF progressively declined over time (P < 0.0001 and P = 0.02, respectively). Longitudinal changes between the two were highly correlated (P < 0.0001). When data was grouped by test session, the first significant decreases for RNFLT and BF were found 13 ± 0.8 and 24 ± 3.2 days post ONT, respectively (P < 0.05, both). At the final time point (55 ± 0.5 days post ONT), RNFLT, and BF were reduced by 44% ± 2.0% and 38 ± 5.0% from baseline, respectively. Dynamic autoregulation analysis showed marginal increased response time in post-ONT eyes (P = 0.05). Control eyes showed no longitudinal changes for any parameter.
CONCLUSIONS: The close association between RNFLT loss and ONH BF decrease following optic nerve degeneration demonstrated a clear cause and effect relationship. Increased BF response time appears to be a sign of dynamic autoregulation dysfunction in this ONT model.
