Multivariate regression analyses to identify factors associated with 8 peripapillary regional VFMS. Results of multivariate regression analyses showed a significantly positive relationships between peripapillary vessel density (pVD) and visual field mean sensitivity (VFMS) in myopic eyes, especially at the temporal and nasal quadrants (TS, TI, ST, NS and NI). Age and diopters were negatively correlated with VFMS. The relationships between pRNFL and the VFMS were not stable. In the TS and NI sectors, the pRNFL could negatively affected VFMS. While in the IT sector, the relationship between pRNFL and VFMS became positive. The linear regression equation for every regional VFMS was marked under the picture. A The VFMS in TS region was negatively correlated with age and pRNFL, while positively correlated with pVD. B In TI region, the VFMS was negatively correlated with age and refractive diopters, whereas positively correlated with pVD. C The VFMS in ST region was negatively correlated with age and refractive diopters, and positively correlated with pVD. D The VFMS in IT region was positively correlated with pRNFL, while negatively correlated with age and refractive diopters. E In SN region, the VFMS was negatively correlated with age and refractive diopters. F In IN region, the VFMS was negatively correlated with age and refractive diopters. G The VFMS in NS region was positively correlated with pVD and negatively correlated with refractive diopters. H The VFMS in NI region was positively correlated with pVD, while negatively correlated with refractive diopters and pRNFL. TS: temporal superior; TI: temporal inferior, ST: superior temporal, IT: inferior temporal, SN: superior nasal, IN: inferior nasal, NS: nasal superior, NI: nasal inferior
