Relationship Between Deep Retinal Macular Vessel Density and Bipolar Cell Function in Glaucomatous Eyes.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the correlation between macular retinal function and the changes in the macular retinal vascular structure in glaucomatous eyes.

Methods

The study included patients with glaucoma who visited Saitama Medical University and underwent optical coherence tomography angiography, and multifocal electroretinographic examinations at the same time between February 2020 and April 2021. Correlations among the ocular parameters, macular vessel density, and multifocal electroretinographic parameters were evaluated using a mixed model.

Results

Forty-one eyes (mean deviation, -12.4 ± 7.8 dB) of 24 subjects (mean age, 75.2 ± 8.3 years) were included in the analysis. There were no significant correlations for macular vessel density in the superficial retinal layer.
