Vascular Density and Retinal Structure Relationships Across Sectors and Regions of the Optic Nerve in Patients With Primary Open Angle Glaucoma.
Ritzer Lukas, Harris Alon, Arciero Julia, Siesky Brent, Fry Brendan, Januleviciene Ingrida et al.
This study found that in early glaucoma, the link between retinal nerve fiber layer and blood vessel density is strongest in the optic nerve's temporal regions, suggesting temporal vessel loss could be an early disease marker.
