The agent for ameliorating ocular circulatory disorder containing the compound of the above formula (I) increases optic disc blood flow of normal eye particularly by instillation, and inhibits vasocontraction of retinal blood vessel, decrease in optic disc blood flow and attenuation of the amplitude of VEP caused by ET-1, without increasing the intraocular pressure.
