Features of the choroidal microvasculature in peripapillary atrophy are associated with visual field damage in myopic patients
American Journal of Ophthalmology Jun 15, 2018
Park HYL, et al. - Using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) authors gauged the features of choroidal microcirculation within the β-zone peripapillary atrophy (PPA) and its relationship with visual field (VF) defects in myopic patients. Findings suggested the presence of glaucomatous VF damage, especially central VF damage in myopic eyes with a larger PPA or with the presence of microvasculature dropout (MvD) on the choroidal map of OCT-A. In myopic eyes, a significant association of the presence of MvD with the presence of central scotoma was seen.
