“…Typical fundus changes in RVO patients include retinal hemorrhage, tortuous retinal vein dilatation, extensive retinal capillary non-perfusion area, and macular edema (Irgat and Ozcura , 2023). Late patients may have complications such as vitreous hemorrhage, traction retinal detachment, and neovascular glaucoma, resulting in severe visual acuity loss and even blindness (Altintas and Ilhan, 2023;Patil et al, 2023). Some commonly used treatment methods in ophthalmology are mainly used to prevent and treat complications such as laser photocoagulation, vitrectomy, vitreous injection of hormones, or anti-VEGF drugs (Ghanchi et al, 2022;Yin et al, 2022).…”

Frontiers is more than just an open access publisher of scholarly articles: it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed. The grand vision of Frontiers is a world where all people have an equal opportunity to seek, share and generate knowledge. Frontiers provides immediate and permanent online open access to all its publications, but this alone is not enough to realize our grand goals. Frontiers journal seriesThe Frontiers journal series is a multi-tier and interdisciplinary set of openaccess, online journals, promising a paradigm shift from the current review, selection and dissemination processes in academic publishing. All Frontiers journals are driven by researchers for researchers; therefore, they constitute a service to the scholarly community. At the same time, the Frontiers journal series operates on a revolutionary invention, the tiered publishing system, initially addressing specific communities of scholars, and gradually climbing up to broader public understanding, thus serving the interests of the lay society, too. Dedication to qualityEach Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians. Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public -and shape society; therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews. Frontiers revolutionizes research publishing by freely delivering the most outstanding research, evaluated with no bias from both the academic and social point of view. By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new generation. What are Frontiers Research Topics?Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers journals series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area.

Introduction: To observe macular microvascular changes in patients with ischemic and non-ischemic central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), and explore the value of OCTA in differentiating ischemic and non-ischemic CRVO. Methods: Cross sectional study. Fifty patients diagnosed as CRVO with macular edema were included. Macular edema in all patients were regressive after three consecutive anti-VEGF treatment. Patients were divided into ischemic and non-ischemic group according to ultra-wide-angle fundus fluorescein angiography (UWFFA). All patients underwent BCVA, IOP, color fundus photography, UWFFA and OCTA. The following parameters were measured: (1) Vessel density (VD): superficial and deep whole VD (SVD, DVD), superficial and deep central fovea VD (SFVD, DFVD), superficial and deep parafoveal VD (SPFVD, DPFVD); (2) Central foveal retinal thickness (CRT); (3) Area of foveal avascular zone (FAZ), perimeter of FAZ (PERIM), avascular index of FAZ (AI) and VD within a width of 300 microns around the FAZ region (FD-300). Comparison between ischemic and non-ischemic group was performed by two independent sample t-tests. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to measure the area under the curve (AUC) of VD for predicting ischemic CRVO. Results: There were no significant differences in IOP, SFVD, DFVD and CRT between ischemic and non-ischemic group, and significant differences in age, BCVA, SVD, SPFVD, DVD, DPFVD, FAZ area, PERIM, AI and FD-300 between ischemic and non-ischemic group. ROC curve analysis showed AUC of DVD and DPFVD in predicting ischemic CRVO was highest (0.962). the threshold was 38.40%, and the sensitivity was 100%, but the specificity of DVD (92.3%) was significantly higher than that of DPFVD (84.6%). Therefore, DVD ≤ 38.40% can be used as the best threshold for determining ischemic CRVO. Conclusion: OCTA can quantitatively evaluate the macular microvascular structure of CRVO, which is helpful to distinguish ischemic from non-ischemic CRVO.

As the only blood vessels that can directly be seen in the whole body, pathological changes in retinal vessels are related to the metabolic state of the whole body and many systems, which seriously affect the vision and quality of life of patients. Timely diagnosis and treatment are key to improving vision prognosis. In recent years, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, the application of artificial intelligence in ophthalmology has become increasingly extensive and in-depth, especially in the field of retinal vascular diseases. Research study results based on artificial intelligence and fundus images are remarkable and provides a great possibility for early diagnosis and treatment. This paper reviews the recent research progress on artificial intelligence in retinal vascular diseases (including diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, retinopathy of prematurity, and age-related macular degeneration). The limitations and challenges of the research process are also discussed.
