These findings demonstrate a distinct pattern of concurrent changes in vessel density of the retinal superficial vascular complex, encompassing the superficial vascular plexus, RPC network and cdONH, and retinal GCL volume, providing new insights into the ongoing degeneration in ataxias. Our findings may have relevance for design of novel therapeutic approaches for ataxias and possibly other neurodegenerative diseases.
