Optical coherence tomography angiography characteristics and correlated factors with visual acuity in retinal arterial occlusion

Purpose To reveal the characteristics of vascular changes in retinal arterial occlusion (RAO) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and determine the correlated factors with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Methods This retrospective study recruited 54 RAO patients and 27 healthy...

Description
Summary:Purpose To reveal the characteristics of vascular changes in retinal arterial occlusion (RAO) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and determine the correlated factors with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Methods This retrospective study recruited 54 RAO patients and 27 healthy individuals. Ophthalmic examinations including BCVA and OCTA were performed in all the patients and individuals. The OCTA outcomes were analyzed using SPSS software, and the characteristics of vascular changes and BCVA-related factors were summarized. Results The vessel density in all areas except fovea of both superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and deep capillary plexus (DCP) was significantly reduced in RAO eyes compared with the fellow eyes and normal control eyes ( P
