Abstract
Abstract
Aims
To report, using ultra-widefield angiography (UWFA) the area, distribution, and change in retinal capillary nonperfusion (RCNP) at baseline and 100 weeks in eyes with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) receiving anti-VEGF for macula oedema.
Methods
Prospective longitudinal multi-centre cohort study. Adults with CRVO treated with anti-VEGF therapy for macular oedema underwent UWFA at baseline and week-100. The area, distribution, and change in total, peripheral and posterior pole RCNP were determined.
Results
Of 153 eyes at baseline, mean area of RCNP was 34.3DA and 12 (7.8%) had ≥75DA RCNP. More than 10DA RCNP was present in the temporal periphery in 75.8% of eyes vs. 10.5% in the nasal periphery. At week-100, mean RCNP was 42.1DA with a median change from baseline of 3.3DA 95% CI [0.4, 7.3]; p < 0.01. Of 146 eyes with ≤10DA of posterior pole RCNP at baseline, 16/146 (11.0%) progressed to >10DA at week-100. These eyes had a median increase in total RCNP of 69.7DA [95% CI 27.2–85.4] vs 0DA [0.0–1.4]; p < 0.001 for those who did not, and two developed neovascular glaucoma. Larger baseline area of RCNP and history of glaucoma were risk factors for posterior pole RCNP developing.
Conclusions
With UWFA, significant baseline RCNP was identified in the majority of CRVO patients, notably in the temporal periphery, but large increases over 100 weeks were uncommon. Development of >10DA posterior pole RCNP is a marker for widespread RCNP and in such cases the risk of anterior segment neovascularisation is not abolished by concomitant anti-VEGF therapy.
