Purpose: To assess the relationship between choriocapillaris (CC) loss and the development of nascent geographic atrophy (nGA) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) imaging.
Methods: In total, 105 from 62 participants with bilateral large drusen, without late age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or nGA at baseline, were included in this prospective, longitudinal, observational study. Participants underwent swept-source OCTA imaging at 6-month intervals.
Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how different types of abnormal blood vessel growth in the eyes respond to a treatment called anti-VEGF over time.
- The researchers examined images from patients who had not been treated before and checked what happened to their eye conditions after at least 10 months.
- They found that while some types of these blood vessels changed a bit, most did not completely go away, and the number of treatments didn't greatly affect how they grew or shrank.
