Short-term effects of deep sclerectomy on retinal vessel density and visual field function in primary open-angle glaucoma
The deep sclerectomy procedure is a compelling choice of POAG treatment, which could significantly decrease the IOP. However, this procedure may not alter the retinal microvasculature in a short period. Nevertheless, the positive correlation between retinal VD and the visual field MD proposes a possible vascular mechanism for the visual field defect in glaucomatous eyes.
