摘要
Purpose: To investigate whether macular vessel density (VD) was associated with the pattern electroretinogram (PERG) in normal tension glaucoma (NTG). Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Seventy-six eyes from patients with NTG were included in this study. Macular VD was calculated from the superficial retinal layer, including the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell layer (GCL), using the built-in software provided with the optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) device. Functional parameters were obtained from standard automated perimetry (SAP) and PERG, using a commercial ERG stimulator. Moreover, structural parameters, such as peripapillary RNFL and macular ganglion cell/inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thickness, were measured using OCT. Results: Patients with higher VD had higher N95 amplitude (p = 0.048). Macular VD was significantly correlated with N95 amplitude, irrespective of disease severity (r = 0.352, p = 0.002 for the total subjects and r = 0.276, p = 0.043 for mild glaucoma). According to regression analyses, N95 amplitude and macular VD were bidirectional significant factors (p = 0.035 and 0.019, respectively). For patients with mild to moderate glaucoma, N95 amplitude and macular VD were also significantly associated bidirectionally, according to regression analyses (p = 0.032 and 0.040, respectively). Conclusions: Macular VD was significantly associated with N95 amplitude from PERG. The correlation was prominent in early glaucoma, in contrast to the other structural or functional parameters. When considering that PERG represents the objective function of the retinal ganglion cell (RGC), macular VD was associated with RGC dysfunction before the functional change became apparent on SAP.
