SD-OCT helps predict response to VEGF therapy in patients with RVO
SAN DIEGO — Baseline visual acuity and features of theouter retina seen on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography can helppredict final visual outcome in patients with macular edema secondary toretinal vein occlusion, according to a speaker here.“Despite complete resolution of macular edema, somepatients still have a poor visual outcome,” Hector H.
