Popis: Purpose:To compare peripapillary vascular parameters derived from two optical coherence tomography angiography devices in pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, primary open-angle glaucoma, and healthy controls and to evaluate their diagnostic accuracy.Methods:Observational, cross-sectional study. In total, 20 eyes with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, 20 primary open-angle glaucoma eyes matched by peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, and 20 control eyes were recruited. Participants underwent standard automated perimetry and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer analysis by Optovue and Cirrus optical coherence tomography. Vascular parameters provided by Angiovue and Angioplex optical coherence tomography angiography were compared. Their diagnostic accuracy and correlation with structural and functional parameters were assessed.Results:All peripapillary optical coherence tomography angiography vascular parameters were significantly different among groups (all p Conclusion:Only Angiovue detected a significantly lower capillary density in pseudoexfoliation glaucoma compared to primary open-angle glaucoma at similar glaucoma damage. Both, Angiovue and Angioplex demonstrated a decreased capillary density in glaucoma eyes compared to healthy eyes. Furthermore, Angiovue-derived vascular parameters showed better correlation with functional and structural parameters and a higher diagnostic capacity to discriminate among groups compared to Angioplex.
