This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic ability and sectoral structure function relationship of circumpapillary vessel density (cpVD) and macular vessel density (mVD) with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in early glaucomatous (EG) eyes. 224 EG eyes of 167 patients (mean deviation...
