Evaluating the predictive value of optical coherence tomography angiography metrics and central corneal thickness among glaucoma suspect patients: a comparative cross-sectional study

Key Points

• Significantly lower vascular metrics were found in glaucoma suspect eyes compared to healthy controls, indicating potential early detection.
• Central corneal thickness was identified as the sole independent predictor of glaucoma suspect status among the evaluated parameters for 100 patients.
• The study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of optical coherence tomography metrics and corneal thickness in glaucoma suspects.
• Implications support the need for utilizing central corneal thickness in clinical assessments, with further validation in larger cohorts suggested.
