OCTA Study of Choroidal Vasculature in Open Angle Glaucoma Patients

Federico II University57 enrolled

Overview

The aim of the present study was to examine and measure SFCT and CCVD using respectively EDI-OCT and OCTA in preperimetric and advanced glaucomatous eyes, in order to shed light on the vascular pathogenesis of glaucoma disease.
