Abstract
The aim of the study is to assess the value of function tests of the autonomic nervous system in open-angle glaucoma by testing the cardiovascular reflexes and pupil cycle time. The experimental group consisted of 19 glaucoma subjects with controlled intraocular pressure. The control group consisted of 20 healthy volunteers. The Valsalva test has proven to be considerably accurate in the assertion of autonomic dysfunction (p < 0.05). Pupil cycle time was significantly prolonged (p < 0.001). These results confirm the role of autonomic dysfunction in open-angle glaucoma.
