Implication

Systematic review demonstrates OCT biomarkers may indicate visual acuity outcomes in RVO patients, suggesting a pathway for improved treatment planning.

Key Points

  • Predictive associations showed that intact external limiting membrane at baseline improves visual acuity at 6 months.
  • Baseline ellipsoid zone integrity was linked to better visual acuity at 12 months, with a notable 5-letter change.
  • Systematic review included 116 studies analyzing 31 unique OCT biomarkers to assess visual acuity outcomes.
  • Findings emphasize the need for standardized definitions and further research to enhance OCT biomarker reliability.
