Abstract Background Optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography (OCTA) provides a quantitative assessment of the microcirculation of the retina and choroid. It may precede the retinal nerve layer (RNFL) and optic disc head defects. Retinal nerve fiber layer defects and reduced central corneal thickness (CCT) are important parameters in the assessment of a glaucoma suspect patients. The aim of this study is to investigate any possible relationship between the reduced central corneal thickness and the radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) density defect in glaucoma suspect. Methods In this cross sectional study, 92 eyes were incorporated. Peripapillary OCT angiography (4.5 mm) and Anterior segment OCT for corneal pachymetry were done. C/D Ratio, thickness of nerve fiber layer, the blood flow indices and central corneal thickness also were evaluated. Results In eyes of glaucoma suspect patients; a significant positive correlation between CCT and total RPC density was detected (r = 0.38, P |
