Optical coherence tomography angiography on evaluation of Conbercept for wet age-related macular degeneration
AIM: To evaluate the effect by optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA)after intravitreal injection of Conbercept for wet age-related macular degeneration(wAMD)patients. <p>METHODS: The retrospective review included 18 patients(20 eyes)which were diagnosed with wAMD in Wuhu Ophthalmic Ho...

All affected eyes were injected by conbercept, examined for the best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)and OCTA examine the foveal macular thickness(FMT), parafoveal macular thickness(PMT), choroidal neovascularization(CNV)flow area, foveal superficial vascular plexus flow density and parafoveal superficial vascular plexus flow density.
