Optical coherence tomography angiography analysis of macular flow density in glaucoma

Purpose Modifications in ocular blood flow may play a significant role in glaucoma development. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT‐A) is based on the detection and analysis of the reflection behaviour of motion in a static environment and therefore is able to quantify the retinal flow density. We used this new technology to examine the density of the active flow vasculature in the macular area in glaucoma patients compared to healthy patients. Methods Thirty patients with primary open‐angle glaucoma (mean age: 72.6 ± 7.1 years) and 21 healthy patients (mean age: 70.3 ± 8.6 years) were recruited ...
