  Explore IOVS Journal Dec 23 2021 Ophthalmology
  
  Purpose: We evaluated microvascular changes using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) in glaucoma patients who underwent glaucoma surgery. Methods: The macula and optic nerve head were imaged using an OCT-A device at one day before surgery and at one week, one month, three months, and six months after surgery. Measurements of vessel density (VD) were made in the intradisc region and macula, and the area of the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) was measured in both superficial and deep vascular layers. A mean deviation (MD) slope value of < -1.0 decibel/y was considered to be indicative of VF progression. Results ...

  Explore Nature Publishing Group May 13 2021 Ophthalmology
  
  We investigated the characteristics of localized vessel density defects (VD) either in the deep or superficial vascular layer of normal-tension glaucoma patients using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). In this retrospective, cross-sectional study, 74 eyes with localized retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) defect were included. The relationships between the widths of the VD in the superficial and deep layer and ocular factors were evaluated. Eyes with greater deep VD were significantly older (P = 0.023). The IOP measured at OCTA exam was significantly related to the width of the deep VD (P = 0.009). By contrast, average ganglion cell inner ...

4. Association Between Parapapillary Choroidal Vessel Density Measured With Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography and Future Visual Field Progression in Patients With Glaucoma
  
  Explore The JAMA Network Apr 2 2019 Ophthalmology
  
  Importance Investigating the vascular risk factors of glaucoma progression is important to individualize treatment; however, few studies have investigated these factors because the available methods have proven insufficient to evaluate the vascular features of patients with glaucoma. Recently, the advent of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) allowed both qualitative and quantitative microvascular data to be obtained, to in turn evaluate the perfusion status of different retinal layers. Objective To determine whether baseline parapapillary choroidal vessel density (VD) as measured by OCT-A was associated with future glaucoma progression. Design, Setting, and Participants A prospective, observational, comparative study was conducted at Seoul ...
