The eyes of 23 patients were included and tested for visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, microperimetry, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography....

FAZ measurement on OCTA

This paper aimed to test the AngioVue OCTAs reproducibility and interoperator concordance in evaluating the size of the foveal avascular zone (FAZ). The authors also investigated how the FAZs representation on the OCTA varied after metabolic activity. The right eye...
