Novel Parameters to Assess the Severity of Corneal Neovascularization Using Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Assessment of anterior segment-optical coherence tomography angiography (AS-OCTA) to determine severity of corneal neovascularization (CoNV).

Design

Retrospective, cross-sectional, single-center study.

Methods

Patients of various CoNV etiologies were selected and classified into mild, moderate, and severe. Their AS-OCTA images were measured for CoNV anterior limit, CoNV posterior limit, CoNV thickness, CoNV depth%, CoNV vessel density, CoNV area, and CoNV volume. Further, AS-OCTA parameters were correlated to clinical parameters, such as classification, a numerical severity scale, vascular clock hours, and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).

Results

A total of 19 mild, 10 moderate, and 6 severe CoNV eyes were included with no significant age-gender dif
