Abstract
Choriocapillaris dropout within the beta zone of peripapillary choroidal atrophy is a significant marker in glaucoma diagnosis. This marker is associated with retinal nerve fiber layer thinning, retinal ganglion cell loss, and visual field deterioration. This review highlights data showing a correlation between choriocapillaris blood flow and the progression of glaucomatous optic neuropathy, suggesting that choriocapillaris dropout serves as a vital biomarker for glaucoma progression, and provides literature evidence on how choriocapillaris blood flow changes relate to glaucoma treatment.
