Discriminating Between Compressive Optic Neuropathy With Glaucoma-Like Cupping and Glaucomatous Optic Neuropathy Using OCT and OCTA.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To discriminate between compressive optic neuropathy with glaucoma-like cupping (GL-CON) and glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON) by comparing the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness and retinal microvasculature using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Methods

In this retrospective cross-sectional study, OCT scans were performed on 28 eyes of GL-CON, 34 eyes of GON, and 41control eyes to determine the pRNFL thickness, ganglion cell complex thickness, and cup/disc ratio. OCTA scans were conducted for 12 eyes of GL-CON, 15 eyes of GON, and 15 control eyes to measure the vessel density of the peripapillary and macular areas. Analysis of covariance was used to perform the comparisons, and the area
