Optical coherence tomography angiography for identifying choroidal neovascular membranes: a masked study in clinical practice.

Background/objectives: Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) allows non-invasive imaging of chorio-retinal vasculature, and is a potential alternative to fluorescein angiography (FA). Sensitivity and specificity of OCT-A for detecting choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) in treatment-naïve neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) patients is examined, using the Heidelberg Spectralis in a 'real world' setting.

Subject/methods: Overall, 43 eyes from 26 patients were included in the study.
