    The contemporary literature has widely described the role of insufficiency of blood flow in glaucomatous damage. The paper presents the blood supply of the optic nerve head and the role of systemic and nocturnal hypotension, vasospasmus syndrome, carotide artery disease, location of the wathershed zone in relation to the optic disc and the effects of defective autoregulation of blood flow in glaucoma. The implications of vascular risk factors in glaucoma for its prognostics and management are discussed.
