Abbreviations: PSV, peak systolic velocity (cm/s); EDV, end diastolic velocity (cm/s); RI, resistance index; OPP, ocular perfusion pressure (mmHg); IOP, intraocular pressure (mmHg).

P values are calculated comparing the parameters at baseline and at the end of the study (two-way ANOVA test); P values were considered statistically significant if lower than 0.005 (Bonferroni correction).
