Accuracy of peripapillary versus macular vessel density in diagnosis of early to advanced primary open angle glaucoma.

CONCLUSIONS: VD measured with OCT-A shows reduction in POAG. Detection of this damage differentiates PPG from normal and perimetric POAG eyes with a high correlation with structural parameters. Peripapillary VD accuracy is higher than mVD in detecting the disease. These results suggest that OCT-A could improve POAG diagnosis and understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms behind glaucoma. PMID: 30150018 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
