Abstract
We thank Du et al for their interest in our article.1Yarmohammadi A. Zangwill L.M. Diniz-Filho A. et al.Relationship between optical coherence tomography angiography vessel density and severity of visual field loss in glaucoma.Ophthalmology. 2016; 123: 2498-2508Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (297) Google Scholar We agree with them on the important influence of high myopia on vascular and structural measurements.2Wang X. Kong X. Jiang C. et al.Is the peripapillary retinal perfusion related to myopia in healthy eyes? A prospective comparative study.BMJ Open. 2016; 6: e10791Crossref Scopus (105) Google Scholar Although the inclusion criteria for our study was spherical refraction within ±10 diopters, only 3 eyes among our study subjects had spherical equivalent of <−6.00 diopters. In addition, Du et al raised a pertinent issue regarding the cause–consequence relationships between vascular loss with structural and visual field damage. We concur that longitudinal studies are needed to evaluate the topographic and temporal relationships between changes in vessel density measurements obtained by optical coherence tomography angiography and changes in standard structural and functional measurements. Re: Yarmohammadi et al.: Relationship between optical coherence tomography angiography vessel density and severity of visual field loss in glaucoma (Ophthalmology. 2016;123:2498-2508)OphthalmologyVol. 124Issue 5PreviewWe read with interest the article by Yarmohammadi et al.1 The authors evaluated the association between vessel density measurements using optical coherence tomography angiography and the severity of visual field loss in primary open-angle glaucoma. They found a significant relationship between vessel density and severity of visual field damage. We have 2 questions. Full-Text PDF
