Optical coherence tomography angiography and progressive retinal nerve fiber layer loss in mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the association between optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography measurements and progressive retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) loss in eyes with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma.

Methods

In this prospective study, 111 quadrants of 59 eyes with mild-moderate open-angle glaucoma were longitudinally evaluated for a minimum of 2 years with at least 3 OCT scans performed. OCT angiography was performed at baseline and vessel densities in the peripapillary and parafoveal regions were determined quadrant-wise. Effect of demographic (age, sex, presence of diabetes and hypertension), clinical (mean and fluctuation of intraocular pressure, presence of pseudoexfoliation, presence of disc hemorrhages, central corneal thickness, baseline mean deviation on vis
