Macular Area Perfusion in Normal and Glaucomatous Eyes Using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography

Abstract

Background: The most common cause of blindness worldwide is glaucoma, a condition that progresses over time and has the potential to permanently impair eyesight. The only glaucoma-related anomaly for which therapy stops the disease from progressing is an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP). Objective: The aim of the current work was to elucidate the differences of perfusion in macular area between normal and glaucomatous eyes, and determine the correlation between the macular area vessel density (VD) and glaucoma severity using optical Coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Patients and Methods: This Cross sectional prospective analytic study included 20 participants with 20 glaucomatous eyes and 20 normal eyes, attending at
