The impact of structural optical coherence tomography changes on visual function in retinal vein occlusion.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We aimed to determine the correlation between optical coherence tomography (OCT)- and demographic features and baseline best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in treatment-naïve patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO).

Methods

This was a cross-sectional posthoc analysis of OCT images that included RVO patients from two prospective, open-label, multicentre studies. The morphological grading was done manually, in the standardized setting of a reading centre. Main outcome measure was the estimated difference in Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study letters associated with each individual biomarker.

Results

Included were 381/301 treatment-naïve patients with BRVO/CRVO. For BRVO, statistically significant correlations with BCVA were seen for a 100 µm increase
