Why the study?
Do baseline vessel density parameters derived from OCT-A predict the development of glaucomatous visual field defects in preperimetric glaucoma patients?

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
In preperimetric glaucoma, lower baseline inferior temporal circumpapillary vessel density on OCT-A predicts the development and faster rate of visual field defects.
A 67 year old woman developed acute renal failure with serum potassium 9.4 mmol/l requiring emergency dialysis after seven days of diarrhoea while taking an ACE inhibitor for vascular disease. Review of the literature, the British National Formulary, and the patient information leaflets for each of the 11 ACE inhibitors currently marketed in the UK suggests that this potentially life threatening complication of ACE inhibition is not yet widely recognised.
