Association of foveal avascular zone change and glaucoma progression

CONCLUSIONS: Significant FAZ increase was weakly associated with moderately faster rates of both GCC thinning and VF MD loss, but not macular vessel density change in glaucoma eyes. Additional studies are needed to elucidate the pathophysiological associations between macula GCC thinning and FAZ area increases in glaucoma.PMID:38164585 | DOI:10.1136/bjo-2023-323970
