POAG and XFG patients and healthy subjects underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic examination, including visual field optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) of the optic disc and FAZ. Differences in peripapillary vessel density (VD), perfusion density (PD), and FAZ area and circularity were examined between all groups, as well as correlations between clinical parameters and vascularity parameters for each glaucoma group.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 109 subjects (one eye for each patient) were analyzed, including 45 with POAG, 30 with XFG, and 34 controls.

A significant negative correlation was found between the average peripapillary VDs and PDs of the inner ring and full ring and disease severity of the POAG patients.
