Purpose: This study aims to investigate inter-image intra-observer variability of macular, and optic disc (ONH) microvasculature measurements of glaucomatous and normal subjects using Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A) (OCT Topcon ImageNet 6; DRI OCT Triton, Topcon Corporation, JAPAN) - based imaging data analysis and processing with a newly made quantitative approach.

Methods: A total of 20 glaucomatous and 20 healthy eyes underwent three OCT-A scanning of the ONH and macula. Macular and papillary and peripapillary vascular networks were calculated.
