    This observational case series study is conducted to compare the extent of microvasculature impairment in the peripapillary retina and choroid in eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), and to investigate the association of the discrepancy between the microvasculature impairments of each layer with the rate of progressive retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thinning. A total of 88 POAG eyes with a localized RNFL defect were enrolled, including 67 eyes with and 21 eyes without choroidal microvasculature dropout (CMvD). Circumferential widths of retinal microvascular impairment (RMvI) and CMvD were measured, and eyes were classified based on the relative width of CMvD to RMvI (CMvD/RMvI ratio). The rate of RNFL thinning was determined by linear regression based on ≥ 5 serial OCT examinations. Thinner global RNFL and worse visual field mean deviation at baseline were associated with a larger circumferential width of the RMvI, whereas the presence of cold extremities, lower mean arterial pressure and thinner juxtapapillary choroid were associated with a larger circumferential width of the CMvD. The rate of global RNFL thinning was faster in eyes with larger relative CMvD width than in eyes with equal CMvD and RMvI widths and in eyes without CMvD (P = 0.001). Lower mean arterial pressure (P = 0.041), larger CMvD width (P = 0.046), larger CMvD/RMvI ratio (P = 0.041), and detection of disc hemorrhage during the follow-up (P = 0.013) were significant factors associated with faster global RNFL thinning. Larger CMvD width relative to RMvI width may be indicative of an increased risk of faster RNFL thinning in POAG with localized RNFL defect. Comparing the microvasculature impairment in individual layers may help predict more rapid glaucoma progression.
