Association of vessel density with retinal sensitivity in patients with branch retinal artery occlusion.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the relationship between vessel density and retinal sensitivity in patients with branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO).

Methods

This was a retrospective study of fourteen eyes of 13 BRAO patients. MP-3 microperimeter measurement and OCTA exams were performed at the same time. The exams were performed twice, one month and 6 months after the onset. The Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) grid was superimposed onto the obtained images. We calculated the retinal sensitivity from MP-3 image, and vessel densities of superficial and deep capillary plexus (sVD and dVD) from OCTA images. These parameters were calculated for both the whole and parafoveal areas. A linear mixed model was used to investigate the correlations between retinal sensitiv
