A Comparison of Vessel Density in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma and Normal-Tension Glaucoma Patients Using OCT Angiography
Global vessel density parameters did not differ significantly between NTG and POAG eyes of similar severity. The observed trend toward lower peripapillary vessel density in early NTG may indicate a possible vascular contribution in early disease, but this finding is preliminary and requires confirmation in larger, prospective studies.
