BACKGROUND: In addition to elevated intraocular pressure, a compromised ocular blood supply has been implicated in the pathogenesis of primary open-angle glaucoma (PCOG).
METHODS AND MATERIALS: We analyzed 20 eyebank eyes with end-stage PCOG and compared these with 20 age-matched controls. The following variables were measured: density and diameter of large choroidal vessels in the macular and equatorial choroid; thickness of the choroid in the macular and equatorial region; and density and thickness of choriocapillaris in the macular, peripapillary, and equatorial choroid.
RESULTS: Eyes with glaucoma displayed a lower density of the capillaries of the choriocapillaris than control eyes in the macular, temporal peripapillary, and equatorial choroid, with 0.50 vs. 0.55 (P = 0.018), 0.46 vs. 0.51 (P = 0.016), and 0.50 vs. 0.55 (P = 0.038), respectively. Assessment of large choroidal vessels in the macular choroid showed that eyes with glaucoma had less density of veins (11.7 vs. 38.9/mm2; P < 0.001) and arteries (7.7 vs. 12.4/mm2; P = 0.005) and arteries with a higher diameter (45.6 vs. 28.2 microns; P < 0.001) than control eyes. The large vessels in the equatorial choroid displayed no significant difference in diameter but a lower density (21.2 vs. 44.1/mm2; P = 0.017) in eyes with glaucomatous damage than controls.
CONCLUSION: Eyes with advanced glaucomatous damage after long-standing PCOG exhibit many changes in the choroidal vasculature. We cannot conclude from our study whether the observed vascular changes in the choroid are primary pathogenic factors or secondary phenomena.
