Choroidal Microvascular Dropout in Primary Open-angle Glaucoma Eyes With Disc Hemorrhage.

Prevalence of CMvD was significantly greater in POAG eyes with DH compared with POAG eyes without DH. CMvD in POAG eyes was also significantly associated with central VF defects and greater severity of glaucomatous damage.

Choroidal Microvascular Dropout in Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma.

Prevalence of CMvD was significantly lower in PACG compared to POAG. As in POAG, CMvD in PACG was associated with advanced VF damage and with IPFS on VF.

A Sectoral Analysis of Vessel Density Measurements in Perimetrically Intact Regions of Glaucomatous Eyes: An Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Study.

Within the perimetrically intact regions of glaucomatous eyes, the mean VD and RNFL thickness were significantly reduced in inferotemporal, superonasal, and nasal upper peripapillary sectors as compared with healthy eyes (P<0.008).

Choroidal Microvascular Dropout in Pseudoexfoliation Glaucoma.

The prevalence of CMvD was significantly lower in the PXG eyes when compared with the POAG eyes.

Does the Presence of a Disc Hemorrhage Affect OCT-Measured Vessel Density and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness?

The presence of a DH does not artifactually alter the VD or RNFL thickness measurements. Therefore, OCT scans obtained in the presence of a DH may be included in series used for studying progression.

Upregulated NOTCH Signaling in the Lens of Patients With Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome Compared With Pseudoexfoliation Glaucoma Suggests Protective Role.

The finding that NOTCH signaling is significantly upregulated in the lens capsule of eyes with PXF and not in PXG or POAG patients suggests a possible protective role in the development of glaucoma.
