Vessel Density Loss of the Deep Peripapillary Area in Glaucoma Suspects and Its Association with Features of the Lamina Cribrosa

Purpose: To investigate the association of decreased vessel density (VD) in the deep peripapillary region and structural features of the lamina cribrosa (LC). Materials and Methods: 70 eyes of glaucoma suspects with enlarged cup-to-disc ratio were scanned and 51 eyes with adequate image quality were included in this study. All subjects had localized VD defects in the deep layer but intact VD in the superficial layer around the peripapillary...
