Optic nerve head vessel density in different stages of pseudoexfoliation disease
British Journal of Ophthalmology Dec 04, 2020
Safizadeh M, Shaabani A, Kamalipour A, et al. - Researchers conducted this cross-sectional study to assess the superficial vascular density of the optic nerve head in different stages of pseudoexfoliation disease utilizing optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Fifty-seven normal eyes, 41 eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXS), 82 eyes with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PXG) and 27 non-glaucomatous fellow eyes of PXG (NL-PXG) that had OCTA were involved. Findings suggested that OCTA can identify decreased capillary density before significant changes in circumpapillary RNFL in fellow eyes of PXG patients. This will make it possible to detect glaucomatous loss in pseudoexfoliation disease earlier and improve disease management.
