Comparison of optical coherence tomography angiography metrics in primary angle-closure glaucoma and normal-tension glaucoma

Abstract To investigate the peripapillary vascular metrics in early normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and early primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) eyes using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A). One or both eyes of each subject were imaged for a 3 × 3 mm peripapillary region by swept-sou...

One or both eyes of each subject were imaged for a 3 × 3 mm peripapillary region by swept-source OCT-A (DRI-OCT Triton, Topcon, Japan) and assessed by an automated MATLAB program. OCT-A metrics including circumpapillary vessel density (cpVD) and fractal dimension (cpFD) were compared.

Sixty-eight eyes of 51 PACG, 68 eyes of 48 NTG, and 68 eyes of 49 control subjects were cross-sectionally analyzed. NTG eyes had significantly lower global cpVD (52.369 ± 0.781%) compared with PACG eyes (55.389 ± 0.721%, P = 0.004) that had comparable disease severity and average RNFL thickness. Multivariable analysis revealed that, for PACG and NTG eyes, decreased cpVD ([PACG] β = −4.242; CI: −8.120, −0.363 vs [NTG] β = −5.531; CI: −9.472, −1.590) and cpFD ([PACG] β = −8.894;CI: −11.925, −5.864 vs [NTG] β = −12.064; CI: −17.095, −6.932) were associated with decreased RNFL thickness (all P ≤ 0.032); with a stronger association between decrease cpFD and decreased RNFL thickness in NTG eyes (P = 0.028). Decreased cpVD was associated with decrease mean deviation (MD) in NTG eyes (β = −0.707; CI: −1.090, −0.324; P ≤ 0.001) and not associated with the visual field parameters in PACG eyes. Early NTG had lower global cpVD compared with early PACG, despite similar disease severity and average RNFL thickness.Ruyue ShenYu Meng WangCarol Y. CheungPoemen P. ChanClement C.
