Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Retrobulbar Blood Flow (Peak Systolic Velocity) as Measured by Color Doppler Imaging in the Nasal Short Posterior Ciliary Artery
Peak systolic velocity (PSV) of retrobulbar blood flow as measured by color Doppler imaging (CDI) in the nasal short posterior ciliary artery after 1 month of treatment. CDI is a high-resolution ultrasound system which provides visualization of the flow of blood through a vessel. PSV is the maximum blood flow speed within a vessel at the time of systole (maximum pressure exerted in a blood vessel).
Retrobulbar Blood Flow (End Diastolic Velocity) as Measured by Color Doppler Imaging in the Nasal Short Posterior Ciliary Artery
End diastolic velocity (EDV) of retrobulbar blood flow as measured by color Doppler imaging (CDI) in the nasal short posterior ciliary artery after 1 month of treatment. CDI is a high-resolution ultrasound system which provides visualization of the flow of blood through a vessel. EDV is the maximum blood flow speed within a vessel at the end of diastole (minimum pressure exerted in a blood vessel in between heart beats).
Retrobulbar Blood Flow (Peak Systolic Velocity) as Measured by Color Doppler Imaging in the Temporal Short Posterior Ciliary Artery
Peak systolic velocity (PSV) of retrobulbar blood as measured by color Doppler imaging (CDI) in the temporal short posterior ciliary artery after 1 month of treatment. CDI is a high-resolution ultrasound system which provides visualization of the flow of blood through a vessel. PSV is the maximum blood flow speed within a vessel at the time of systole (maximum pressure exerted in the blood vessel).

CDI is a high-resolution ultrasound system which provides visualization of the flow of blood through a vessel. EDV is the maximum blood flow speed within a vessel at the end of diastole (minimum pressure exerted in a blood vessel in between heart beats).
Retrobulbar Blood Flow (Peak Systolic Velocity) as Measured by Color Doppler Imaging in the Ophthalmic Artery
Peak systolic velocity (PSV) of retrobulbar blood flow as measured by color Doppler imaging (CDI) in the ophthalmic artery after 1 month of treatment. CDI is a high-resolution ultrasound system which provides visualization of the flow of blood through a vessel. PSV is the maximum blood flow speed within a vessel at the time of systole (maximum pressure exerted in a blood vessel).
Retrobulbar Blood Flow (End Diastolic Velocity) as Measured by Color Doppler Imaging in the Ophthalmic Artery

Retrobulbar Blood Flow (Peak Systolic Velocity) as Measured by Color Doppler Imaging in the Central Retinal Artery
Peak systolic velocity (PSV) of retrobulbar blood flow as measured by color Doppler imaging (CDI) in the central retinal artery after 1 month of treatment. CDI is a high-resolution ultrasound system which provides visualization of the flow of blood through a vessel. PSV is the maximum blood flow speed within a vessel at the time of systole (maximum pressure exerted in a blood vessel).
