Capillary Density Measured by Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Glaucomatous Optic Disc Phenotypes.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA)-measured capillary density of the optic disc among 4 glaucomatous optic disc phenotypes.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Methods

Circumpapillary capillary density (cpCD) of 4 glaucomatous optic disc phenotypes in 193 eyes of 141 glaucoma patients and cpCD in 92 eyes of 55 healthy subjects from the Diagnostic Innovations in Glaucoma Study (DIGS) were compared. Areas under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curves were used to evaluate diagnostic accuracy among groups after adjusting for confounders.

Results

Four glaucoma phenotypes were assessed: focal ischemic (n = 45), generalized cup enlargement (n = 60), myopic glaucoma (n = 38), and senile sclerotic (n = 50). Sex, mean ocular perfus
