Glaucoma diagnostic capabilities of macular vessel density on optical coherence tomography angiography: superficial versus deep layers
Background/aims: To compare glaucoma diagnostic capabilities of superficial and deep macular vessel density (mVD) parameters in a series of healthy and open-angle glaucoma (OAG) eyes with central visual field (CVF) loss. Methods: We consecutively enrolled 113 eyes of 113 patients with OAG and 47 eyes of 47 healthy participants in a retrospective manner. Superficial and deep mVDs were measured at foveal, parafoveal and perifoveal locations on optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography. The macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thickness (mGCIPLT) was measured on OCT as a reference standard. Glaucoma diagnostic capabilities of superficial and deep mVD parameters were assessed according ...
