Faster initial capillary density loss was associated with more rapid visual field progression and increased risk for event progression, prompting researchers to suggest the addition of OCT angiography for risk assessment in glaucoma.
“Early detection of visual field progression is vital for effective management of glaucoma,” Natchada Tansuebchueasai, MD, and colleagues from Shiley Eye Institute at the University of California, San Diego, wrote in JAMA Ophthalmology. “Extensive research has focused on the predictive capabilities of structural optic nerve and retinal nerve
