Abstract :
Different diseases of the optic disc may be caused by or lead to abnormal vasculature at the optic nerve head.
Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a novel technology that provides high resolution
mapping of the retinal and optic disc vessels. Recent studies have shown the ability of OCTA to visualize
vascular abnormalities in different optic neuropathies. In addition, quantified OCTA measurements were
found promising for differentiating optic neuropathies from healthy eyes.
