Abstract: Optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA)enables clinical monitoring of vascular changes in glaucoma by stratifying and quantifying the retinal microvasculature. In recent years, many studies have found that superficial peripapillary vessel density, especially the vessel density of the radial peripapillary capillaries layer, had a high diagnostic utility for glaucoma and a good correlation with glaucomatous optic neuropathy, which is helpful to the structural and functional examination of glaucoma. Thus, OCTA may further improve the diagnosis and treatment of different types of glaucoma at different stages.

Key words: Optical coherence tomography angiography, Radial peripapillary capillaries, Vessel density, Glaucoma
