Abstract Background To evaluate the changes in macular superficial retinal vessel density and their relation with visual acuity in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) patients with different severity. Methods This cross-sectional observational study included 70 TAO patients and 70 healthy controls. Only data from the right eyes were analyzed. TAO patients were divided into 7 subgroups according to the NOSPECS score. Foveal avascular zone (FAZ), vascular density (VD), and perfusion density (PD) of macular 1 mm diameter and 6 mm diameter areas were measured by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Results In TAO patients, significant increases were found in macular and foveal vascular densities (FVD) and perfusion densities (FPD) while a significant decrease was found in the FAZ area when compared with the control group (p |
