About

This study evaluates the retinal vascular features in macula and papillary regions in patients affected by pseudophakic cystoid edema using optical coherence tomography angiography

Full description

Pseudophakic cystoid edema represents one of the most common causes of poor visual outcome following cataratta surgery.

It is still source of debate the pathogenesis of Pseudophakic cystoid edema. Optical coherence tomography angiography represents a novel and non-invasive diagnostic technique that allows a detailed analysis of retinal vascular features. The study evaluates retrospectively the changes in optical coherence tomography angiography parameters at baseline and after three monthly after surgery.
