5. Impact of Pupil Dilation on Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Retinal Microvasculature in Healthy Eyes
  
  Explore LWW Online Sep 6 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  Précis: Small but significant decreases in OCTA-measured circumpapillary capillary density were observed in healthy eyes dilated with 2.5% phenylephrine/0.5% tropicamide.

12. Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography and Glaucoma: A Brief Review
  
  Explore Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology Apr 9 2019 Ophthalmology
  
  Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a new modality in ocular imaging which provides non-invasive assessment and measurement of the vascular structures in the retina and optic nerve head. This technique provides useful information in glaucoma, such as quantitative assessment of vessel density. Vessel density measurement can be affected by various subject-related, eye-related, and diseaserelated factors. Overall, OCTA has good repeatability and reproducibility, and can differentiate glaucoma eyes from normal eyes. It can also help detect early glaucoma, reach a floor effect at a more advanced disease stage than optical coherence tomography (OCT), and adds information about glaucoma patients at ...

15. En face optical coherence tomography imaging of beta and gamma parapapillary atrophy in high myopia
  
  Explore ophthalmologyglaucoma.org Dec 4 2018 Ophthalmology
  
  Objective Recent studies have suggested that optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based classification of parapapillary atrophy (PPA) may be helpful in distinguishing glaucomatous from myopic optic disc changes. However, the pathological implications of PPA may be different in highly myopic eyes that exhibit optic disc deformations distinct from low to moderate myopia. Therefore, we conducted the current study to investigate factors associated with OCT-defined PPA zones measured in en face reconstructed swept source OCT (SS OCT) images in highly myopic eyes. Design Retrospective, cross-sectional study. Participants Seventy-seven eyes of 55 subjects with high myopia (spherical equivalent refractive error ≤ -8 diopters or ...

17. Potential clinical applications of optical coherence tomography angiography in glaucoma
  
  Explore ScienceDirect Sep 11 2018 Ophthalmology
  
  Editorial: Elevated intraocular pressure has been identified as a major risk factor for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), and current treatments focus on reducing the intraocular pressure to prevent disease progression. However, some glaucomatous patients continue to progress despite intraocular pressure lowering, and in these patients, other risk factors like decreased ocular perfusion pressure and vascular dysfunction may be causative factors. 1 , 2 The recent advent of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) has allowed for fast and noninvasive assessment of microvasculature in the peripapillary retina and macula. 3 Different strategies have been used for assessing microvasculature in different OCTA machines.
