Macular vascular density changes in different stages of chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma by Juntao Zhang, Juntao Zhang, Qinkang Lu, Huilei Yu, Bowen Liu, Jingwen Yang, Tianyu Wang, Fang Wang

“…Single correlation analysis showed that MVD in CPACG eyes was significantly correlated with axial length (r = 0.493, p = 0.036), RNFL thickness (r = 0.488, p = 0.047), and mean deviation of the visual field (r = −0.546, p = 0.010). In addition, multiple regression analysis also suggested that MVD was positively correlated with GCL/RNFL thickness and negatively correlated with the mean deviation of the visual field (p = 0.004).ConclusionOur study demonstrated that OCTA was a valuable tool for detecting vascular deterioration in CPACG eyes, with a stronger association between MVD and visual field damage. …”
