Peripapillary choriocapillaris blood flow in glaucoma. Part 2. Peripapillary choriocapillaris dropout and its relationship to the progression of glaucomatous optic neuropathy

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Choriocapillaris dropout within the beta zone of peripapillary choroidal atrophy is a significant marker in glaucoma diagnosis. This marker is associated with retinal nerve fiber layer thinning, retinal ganglion cell loss, and visual field deterioration. This review highlights data showing a correlation between choriocapillaris blood flow and the progression of glaucomatous optic neuropathy, suggesting that choriocapillaris dropout serves as a vital biomarker for glaucoma progression, and provides literature evidence on how choriocapillaris blood flow changes relate to glaucoma treatment.
