BackgroundWe report a case of advanced juvenile open-angle glaucoma (JOAG) in which peripapillary capillary vessel density (PcVD) in the inferior retina showed significant progression while the spatially corresponding retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) and visual field cluster defect values had reached their minimal detectable values, and showed no change during the follow-up (floor effect).Case presentationA 45-year old white female patient with very advanced under treatment JOAG in the left eye was prospectively investigated with the AngioVue OCT (Optovue Inc., Fremont, USA) for RNFLT and PcVD, and Octopus Normal G2 visual field testing, at 6-month intervals for 2.5years (6 visits). Images quality was high (8/10 in 5 visits and 7/10 in one visit), and the optical media were clear. For the superior and inferior retina the baseline RNFLT and PcVD values were 48 and 43m, and 28.9 and 36.5%, respectively. Using the instrument's linear regression analysis significant progression (P
