Two-Year Risk of Exudation in Eyes with Nonexudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Subclinical Neovascularization Detected with Swept Source Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography
Purpose Swept source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) was used to study the prevalence, incidence, and natural history of subclinical macular neovascularization (MNV) in eyes with unilateral nonexudative age-related macular degeneration. Design Prospective cohort study. Methods Patients were imaged using 3- × 3-mm and 6- × 6-mm SS-OCTA scan patterns. MNV was detected using the outer retina to choriocapillaris en face slab. Prevalence and incidence of subclinical MNV, Kaplan–Meier cumulative estimates for the overall risk of exudation, and the association between neovascular lesion size and the risk of exudation were assessed through 2 years. Results From August 2014 through March 2018 ...
