Introduction: To analyze the correlation between orbital compliance and retinal vessel density (VD) based on dynamic Scheimpflug analyzer (Corvis ST) and optical coherence tomographic angiography (OCT-A).Methods: In this prospective observational study, 65 eyes of 44 patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) in quiescent stage were included (15 males and 29 females). The whole eye movement (WEM) was detected by Corvis ST. The superficial capillary plexus VD (SCP-VD) and deep capillary plexus VD (DCP-VD) were obtained by scanning the 3 × 3 mm area around the fovea using OCT-A, while the peripapillary vessel density (ppVD) was obtained by scanning the 4.5 × 4.5 mm area around the optic disk. Covariances including biomechanically corrected intraocular pressure (bIOP), axial length, age and gender were adjusted during data analysis.Results: The mean WEM of the participants was 0.235 ± 0.066 mm. The mean SCP-VD and DCP-VD in whole image were 46.20% ± 3.77% and 50.51% ± 3.96%; the mean whole pp-VD was 49.75% ± 2.01%. WEM was positively correlated with SCP-VD (r = 0.327, p = 0.01) and the whole pp-VD (r = 0.394, p < 0.01) after adjusting by gender, axial length (AL), age and bIOP, but it was not significantly correlated with DCP-VD (r = 0.072 p = 0.581).Conclusion: Increase in orbital pressure might reduce retinal microvascular perfusion. Our data suggest orbital mechanical compression may be an important cause of retinal VD changes in quiescent patients with TAO.
