Background: Glaucoma results in a progressive optic neuropathy characterized by degeneration of Retinal Ganglion Cells (RGC) and their axons. The most recent technique for examining vascular changes in the nerve endings is Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A). OCT-A is a noninvasive imaging technique that uses en-face reconstruction of OCT combined with motion contrast to visualize retinal and ONH microvasculature. The spectrum for primary angle closure disease manifest from Primary Angle Closure Suspect (PACS), and Primary Angle Closure (PAC) to PACG. Pseudoexfoliative Glaucoma (PEXG) is rapid progressive open angle glaucoma with high baseline IOP and wide IOP fluctuation compared to other types of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG). The vascular function relationship between PACG and POAG is different. In the present study we aimed to evaluate the RPC us.. View More»
