Description
Summary:Summary Correlations in retinal vein occlusion (RVO) patients between macular vascular densities in the superficial and deep capillary plexuses obtained using OCT‐Angiography (OCTA) and the data from conventional examination (visual acuity and peripheral retinal non perfusion on fluorescein angiography) might reveal new insights in the pathogenesis of vascular damage. Through a retrospective, observational study of RVO patients with who underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic examination including FA and OCTA a significant correlation between automatically quantified macular vascular density on OCTA and peripheral non‐perfusion on FA was demonstrated; OCTA could help in identifying high‐risk RVO patients who may benefit from further evaluation using FA.
