Abstract

Primary Open-angle glaucomais the most common form of glaucoma which is a chronic, progressive optic neuropathy in adults in which there is a characteristic aquired atrophy of the optic nerve and loss of retinal ganglion cells and their axons. This condition is associated with an open anterior chamber angle by gonioscopy generally bilateral, but often asymmetric
Optical coherence tomography allows for noninvasive imaging of glaucomatous structural damage involving the optic nerve, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer and the macular region.
Diabetes mellitus has become one of the most significant public health problems in the last decades. As the prevalence of DM and life expectancy increase worldwide, diabetic complications also increase. Early detection of ocular complications of DM is important for the preservation of useful visual acuity.
The recent introduction of optical coherence tomography angiography has sparked interest in evaluating vascular alterations in the retina and optic nerve head for diagnosis staging, and monitoring in glaucoma and diabetis.
