Abstract

We found that MvD was frequent in progressive OAG eyes on the choroidal map of OCT-A, which was more frequently found at the prior DH locations in eyes with DH. This means that observing the presence of MvD using OCT-A may provide a biomarker for glaucoma progression, especially in eyes with DH.
