Evaluation of macular microcirculation in healthy children using optical coherence tomography angiography

INTRODUCTION: To evaluate the macular perfusion using OCTA in a healthy pediatric population. METHODS: Fifty-three eyes of 30 healthy children (20 boys and 10 girls) were included in this prospective cross-sectional study. Age (years), gender, foveal thickness (FT) (µm), superficial foveal avascular zone area (FAZs) (%), deep foveal avascular zone area (FAZd) (%), superficial capillary plexus (SCP) flow area (%), deep capillary plexus (DCP) flow area (%), choriocapillaris (CC) flow area (%), vascular density in SCP (VDs) (%), vascular density in DCP (VDd) (%), and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) (µm) were evaluated. RESULTS: The mean age was 12.0± 4.0 (range: 6-15) years. Gender did not ...
