Abstract:With the development of modern ophthalmic techniques, the understanding on ophthalmic diseases has become increasingly accurate, and the requirements for its testing method have continued rising. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a new non-invasive ophthalmic examination technique used for glaucoma in recent years, which can not only qualitatively analyze micro-flow and vascular structure, but also quantitatively calculate the blood flow in different layers of retina. In addition, OCTA can also be used to test and dynamically observe the vascular density in different areas around the optic disc and macula, which provides new methods and ideas for the understanding of glaucoma′s pathogenesis, as well as the diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma. Studies on the application of OCTA in the diagnosis and treatment of primary glaucoma are summarized in this paper, so as to provide a reference for investigating the hemorrheology of primary glaucoma.
