Relationship Between Macular Microvasculature and Visual Acuity in Advanced and Severe Glaucoma

To evaluate the correlation between structural parameters and visual acuity (VA) in advanced glaucoma. Prospective, cross-sectional study. A total of 238 eyes from 238 patients (82 were men and mean ± SD age was 59.9 ± 13.8 years) from a tertiary center were divided into an advanced (mean deviation...

Description
Summary:To evaluate the correlation between structural parameters and visual acuity (VA) in advanced glaucoma. Prospective, cross-sectional study. A total of 238 eyes from 238 patients (82 were men and mean ± SD age was 59.9 ± 13.8 years) from a tertiary center were divided into an advanced (mean deviation of 24-2 visual field tests from –12.01 to –20.0 dB) and severe (< –20 dB) glaucoma group. Structural parameters were obtained by RTVue (Optovue Inc) optical coherence tomography and angiography. Pearson correlation, partial correlation adjusted for age and axial length, and receiver operating characteristic curves to detect decreased VA (
