Ultra wide field fluorescein angiography provides visualization of nonperfusion in eyes with central retinal vein occlusion. Eyes with neovascularization on the day of the angiogram were found to have significantly larger areas of retinal nonperfusion compared with eyes without neovascularization. A prospective study is indicated to know if early treatment of peripheral retinal nonperfusion in CRVO improves outcomes.
We found, although only 15% of patients were diagnosed with DR from teleretinal screening, more than 50% of patients were referred to eye clinic. In addition, of all screened patients, there was a high rate of not returning to the Veterans Affairs (VA) for eye care.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
