Association of foveal avascular zone area with structural and functional progression in glaucoma patients
British Journal of Ophthalmology Apr 11, 2021
Li F, Lin F, Gao K, et al. - Researchers examined if and how quantitative optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) metrics of the superficial/deep macular retina and optic disc are linked with glaucoma progression risk. They included a total of 238 eyes from 119 patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, and no history of systemic hypertension or diabetes mellitus as well as conducted OCTA imaging with a swept-source OCT (DRI-OCT 1, Topcon, Japan) on them. Per findings, enlarged FAZ area determined by OCTA was linked with a higher risk of retinal nerve fibre layer and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thinning associated with glaucoma, but not with functional deterioration in glaucoma.
