Abstract:Purpose
To investigate the differences in peripapillary vessel density (VD) between compressive optic neuropathy (CON) and normal-tension glaucoma (NTG).
Methods
We compared patients with chronic CON and NTG, particularly after strictly controlling the mean extent of macular damage by the area of the ganglion cell–inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) loss in optical coherence tomography (OCT). We compared retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and GCIPL thickness from OCT and peripa… Show more
