Correlation between radial peripapillary vascular density and reduced central corneal thickness in glaucoma suspect patients
BACKGROUND: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography (OCTA) provides a quantitative assessment of the microcirculation of the retina and choroid. It may precede the retinal nerve layer (RNFL) and optic disc head defects. Retinal nerve fiber layer defects and reduced central corneal thickness (...

description | BACKGROUND: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography (OCTA) provides a quantitative assessment of the microcirculation of the retina and choroid. It may precede the retinal nerve layer (RNFL) and optic disc head defects. Retinal nerve fiber layer defects and reduced central corneal thickness (CCT) are important parameters in the assessment of a glaucoma suspect patients. The aim of this study is to investigate any possible relationship between the reduced central corneal thickness and the radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) density defect in glaucoma suspect. METHODS: In this cross sectional study, 92 eyes were incorporated. Peripapillary OCT angiography (4.5 mm) and Anterior segment OCT for corneal pachymetry were done. C/D Ratio, thickness of nerve fiber layer, the blood flow indices and central corneal thickness also were evaluated. RESULTS: In eyes of glaucoma suspect patients; a significant positive correlation between CCT and total RPC density was detected (r = 0.38, P < 0.001). A strong positive correlation was also found between total RPC and peripapillary RNFL thickness (r = 0.55, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Reduced central corneal thickness and peripapillary capillary density are two screening parameters for glaucoma suspect patients. The radial peripapillary capillary density is a valid diagnostic tool for glaucoma.
