Aim: Although it has been reported that the optic nerve can be mechanically affected by the eye's horizontal movements, studies examining horizontal movements with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) have only recently begun to emerge. This study aimed to investigate whether there are changes in the OCTA data of healthy individuals in the primary gaze, abduction, and adduction.
Method: Thirty volunteers (15-73 years old) were included in this prospectively designed study.
Purpose: Glaucoma and multiple sclerosis (MS) can cause optic disc pathology and, in this way, affect optical coherence tomography (OCT) data. In this context, the objective of this study is to investigate the changes in the mean, quadrant, and sector data measured by OCT in glaucoma and MS patients.
Methods: The sample of this prospective cohort study consisted of 42 MS patients (84 eyes), 34 Primary open-angle glaucomas patients (67 eyes), and 24 healthy control subjects (48 eyes).
