Overview

Retrospective cohort study assesses baseline imaging links to visual acuity in branch retinal vein occlusion patients post macular edema resolution, suggesting OCT parameters' prognostic value.

Key Points

  • To evaluate baseline optical coherence tomography and angiography characteristics in branch retinal vein occlusion patients with and without retinal atrophy after macular edema resolution.
  • Retrospective cohort study of 65 eyes from 65 patients with branch retinal vein occlusion-related macular edema.
  • Patients received three loading doses of intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor.
  • Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence of retinal atrophy and visual acuity.
  • Higher baseline central retinal thickness was observed in the retinal atrophy group compared to the nonatrophy group.
  • Baseline central choroidal thickness was significantly lower in the retinal atrophy group.
  • Lower vascular density in the superficial capillary plexus was noted in the atrophy group, while higher density in the deep capillary plexus correlated with better visual acuity.
