Comparisons of retinal vessel density and glaucomatous parameters in optical coherence tomography angiography.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare the retinal vessel density and glaucomatous parameters in primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG), to evaluate the diagnostic and monitoring abilities of the peripapillary and macular vessel density in the progression of glaucoma.

Methods

This was a observational, prospective and cross-sectional study. According to Glaucoma Staging System, 218 eyes (116 participants) were divided into 5 groups: no glaucoma, early glaucoma, moderate glaucoma, advance glaucoma, severe glaucoma. All participants underwent a comprehensive ocular examination, which included corrected distance visual acuity measurement, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, intra ocular pressure (IOP), gonioscopy, fundus examination, stereoscopic optic disc photography, Humphrey visual field test(VF), peripapi
