Optic Disc Structural Progression in Glaucoma Suspect Eyes with Microvascular Dropout

The authors aimed to investigate the relationship between structural progression of the optic disc, β-zone parapapillary atrophy (PPA) progression, and microvascular dropout (MvD) in glaucoma suspect eyes. Their findings indicate that both MvD and β-zone PPA progression are independently associated with structural optic disc progression, even in eyes that remain clinically stable without converting to perimetric glaucoma. This recognition of structural changes could improve management strategies to prevent glaucomatous vision loss.
