Abstract
Systemic and ocular factors including focal LC defects more advanced glaucoma, reduced RNFL vessel density, thinner choroidal thickness, and lower diastolic blood pressure were factors associated with the parapapillary deep-layer microvasculature dropout in glaucomatous eyes. Longitudinal studies are required to elucidate the temporal relationship between parapapillary deep-layer microvasculature dropout and systemic and ocular factors.
