Association of Disorganization of Retinal Inner Layers with Ischemic Index and Visual Acuity in Central Retinal Vein Occlusion.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To determine whether disorganization of retinal inner layers (DRIL) on optical coherence tomography (OCT) is associated with ischemia on ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography (UWFFA) and with visual outcomes in eyes with acute, treatment-naïve central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).

Design

Retrospective, single-institution, longitudinal cohort study.

Participants

Twenty-five consecutive patients with treatment-naïve CRVO and ≥ 1 year follow-up.

Methods

Two independent masked graders evaluated the extent of DRIL, ellipsoid zone disruption, external limiting membrane disruption, and other OCT parameters at the baseline, 6- month, 12-month, and final visits. Baseline UWFFA images were assessed for ischemic index values and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) enla
