Machine learning proves effective in measuring ellipsoid zones

Novel machine-learning using ellipsoid zone area defect revealed a correlation of improvement in mean visual acuity and decrease in defect, according to data presented at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology annual meeting.
Improvements in mean visual acuity letter score (VALS) were observed at months 1, 6 and 12, then decreased 44.4% at month 24 after no protocol-defined treatment for a year. The study comprised patients with macular edema due to central retinal or hemiretinal vein occlusion. Mean VALS was better in eyes without an ellipsoid zone (EZ) (Read more...)
