Optical coherence tomography angiography findings in patients with branch retinal vein occlusion treated with Anti-VEGF

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 83 (2), 2020
ABSTRACT Purpose: To investigate retinal microvasculature changes in patients treated with anti-VEGF for macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion. Methods: We examined 38 eyes of 19 patients for the study. We measured superficial and deep capillary plexus vessel densities (%), foveal av...
