The study aimed to evaluate the quantitative characteristics of the macular vessel density (VD) and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) in glaucoma using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A). Cross-sectional, age- and sex-matched case-control study. Fifty-two eyes of 52 patients with primary ope...
