Retinal layers changes in patients with age-related macular degeneration treated with intravitreal anti-VEGF agents.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The purpose of this study was to investigate retinal layers changes in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents and to evaluate if these changes may affect treatment response.

Methods

This study included 496 patients with AMD or PCV who were treated with anti-VEGF agents and followed up for at least 6 months. A comprehensive analysis of retinal layers affecting visual acuity was conducted. To eliminate the fact that the average thickness calculated may lead to differences tending to converge towards the mean, we proposed that the retinal layer was divided into different regions and the thickness of the retinal layer was analyzed at the same time. The labeled data will be publicly a
