Multilayer Macula Vessel Density and Visual Field Progression in Glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the association of macular superficial vessel density (SVD) and projection-resolved deep vessel density (DVD) with past visual field (VF) progression in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.

Design

Retrospective cohort.

Methods

In this longitudinal study, 208 eyes of 147 patients with glaucoma from the Diagnostics Innovations in Glaucoma Study were included. Eligible participants were required to have at least five 24-2 VF tests over a minimum follow-up period of 3 years before macular optical coherence tomography angiography imaging. VF progression was defined based on both event-based pointwise linear regression and trend-based methods. The association of macular SVD and DVD with the probability and rate of past VF progression was evaluated
