About

This study evaluates the retinal vascular features using optical coherence tomography angiography in patients that received ocular blunt trauma.

Full description

To investigate, using optical coherence tomography angiography, early retinal vascular features 48 hours after ocular trauma and to detect their changes during 6 months' follow up.

The optical coherence tomography angiography represents a novel and noninvasive diagnostic technique that allows a detailed analysis of retinal vascular features.
