Structural and Visual Changes in Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion Patients with Retinal Atrophy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To study the changes of retinal vascular density (VD), retinal thickness (RT), and their correlations with visual acuity (VA) in branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) patients with retinal atrophy after resolution of macular oedema (MO).

Methods

This is a retrospective study consisting of 46 patients diagnosed with BRVO at Beijing Hospital from 2015 to 2019. Patients' 46 affected eyes and 39 fellow eyes were included. The affected eyes were further divided into the atrophy group and the nonatrophy group. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) images obtained when MO completely resolved after treatment with ranibizumab were analyzed. We quantitatively measured foveal avascular zone (FAZ) parameters, the disruption exte
