Morphology of en face Haller vessel and macular neovascularization at baseline and 3 months as predictive factors in age-related macular degeneration

The clinical implication of en face imaging of Haller vessels and macular neovascularization (MNV) in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) is not well established. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the early-phase morphology of en face Haller vessel and MNV is relate...

Description
Summary:The clinical implication of en face imaging of Haller vessels and macular neovascularization (MNV) in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) is not well established. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the early-phase morphology of en face Haller vessel and MNV is related to the injection frequency and visual outcome in treatment-naïve nAMD. En face images of Haller vessel and MNV were acquired from 52 eyes at baseline, after three loading doses and at 12 months later using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography. Vessel area, diameter, length, intersection number, fractal dimension, and lacunarity were calculated. Patients were classified according to the injection frequency (
