Primary open-angle glaucoma patients with more than two years of follow-up after trabeculectomy were included. pVD was calculated in a region defined as a 750 \u03bcm-wide elliptical annulus extending from the optic disc boundary. mVD was calculated in the parafoveal (1\u20133 mm) and perifoveal (3\u20136 mm) regions. VF deterioration was defined as the rate of mean deviation (MD) worse than \u22121.5 dB\/year. The change rates of pVD and mVD were compared between the deteriorated VF and non-deteriorated VF groups. The factors associated with the rate of MD were determined by linear regression analyses. VF deterioration was noted in 14 (21.5%) of the 65 eyes that underwent trabeculectomy. The pVD (\u22122.26 \u00b1 2.67 vs. \u22120.02 \u00b1 1.74%\/year, p \u2264 0.001) reduction rate was significantly greater in the deteriorated VF group than in the non-deteriorated VF group, while that of parafoveal (p = 0.267) and perifoveal (p = 0.350) VD did not show a significant difference. The linear regression analysis showed that the postoperative MD reduction rate was significantly associated with the rate of pVD reduction (p = 0.016), while other clinical parameters and preoperative vascular parameters did not show any association. Eyes with greater loss of peripapillary retinal circulation after trabeculectomy tended to exhibit VF deterioration. The assessment of peripapillary vascular status can be an adjunctive strategy to predict visual function after trabeculectomy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10245862","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,14]],"date-time":"2021-12-14T11:11:35Z","timestamp":1639480295000},"page":"5862","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Changes in Peripapillary and Macular Vessel Densities and Their Relationship with Visual Field Progression after Trabeculectomy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Jooyoung","family":"Yoon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, College of Medicine, University of Ulsan, Asan Medical Center, Seoul 05505, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyung Rim","family":"Sung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, College of Medicine, University of Ulsan, Asan Medical Center, Seoul 05505, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joong Won","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, College of Medicine, University of Ulsan, Asan Medical Center, Seoul 05505, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1711","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(04)16257-0","article-title":"Primary open-angle glaucoma","volume":"363","author":"Weinreb","year":"2004","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Collaborative Normal-Tension Glaucoma Study Group (1998).
