Optical coherence tomography angiography features of macular neovascularization in wet age-related macular degeneration: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

OCT-A is a recent imaging technique allowing a non-invasive assessment of the retinal and choroidal microvasculature, providing valuable data for the diagnosis and monitoring of wet AMD. We aim to determine the diagnosis accuracy, describe the morphological features, and assess the clinical activity of MNV in wet AMD using OCT-A.

Materials and methods

We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study over a 15-month period. We enrolled patients with treatment-naive and treated MNV secondary to wet AMD. Macular OCT-A images were obtained using a swept-source OCT-A device (Triton SS-OCT, Topcon, Tokyo, Japan). Morphologic characteristics and semi-automated measurements were analyzed on the en face projection OCT-Angiograms. For the qualitative analysis, determined th
