• To investigate the incidence of glaucomatous peripapillary atrophy (PPA) and choroidal circulation of glaucomatous patients. The subjects of glaucoma groups included 43 (43 eyes) glaucomatous patients including 16 (16 eyes) chronic angle-closure glaucoma (CACG), 27 (27 eyes) open-angle glaucoma. Control group included 33 (33 eyes) cases. Indocyanine green angiography and fundus fluorescein angiography were performed on glaucoma groups and control group with Heidelberg retinal angiography (HRA) to observe alpha zone and beta zone of PPA. The frequency of beta zone in CACG, open-angle glaucoma and control group was 31.3%, 77.8% and 21.9%, respectively, with statistically significant difference between these groups (chi(2) = 19.915, P = 0.000). Beta zone showed ICG hypofluorescence in all eyes. There were no statistically significant difference in the frequency of alpha zone between glaucoma groups and control group. However, there were two different types of indocyanine green filling in alpha zone: normal or de
