Research progress of UWFFA and OCTA in retinal vein occlusion: A review

Eur J Ophthalmol. 2021 Nov;31(6):2850-2855. doi: 10.1177/11206721211027411.

Abstract

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a retinal vascular disease that severely impairs the visual function of patients. Observing the changes of retinal blood vessels before and after treatment is of great significance for the prognostic evaluation of RVO. The rapid development and widespread use of fundus imaging technique, especially ultra-wide-angle fundus fluorescein angiography (UWFFA) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) have made our observation of the retinal blood vessels of RVO more comprehensive and meticulous. In this paper, we reviewed the latest research progress of UWFFA and OCTA in RVO.

Keywords: Retinal vein occlusion; optical coherence tomography angiography; review; ultra-wide-angle fundus fluorescein angiography.
