Description To evaluate the chronic effect of optic neuropathy on retinal capillary density using a new OCT-based method of angiography that does not require dye injection. We hypothesized that loss of retinal ganglion cells and their axons would reduce metabolic demand of the inner retina, causing loss of capillary blood flow.
