OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY–MEASURED PIGMENT EPITHELIAL DETACHMENT HEIGHT AS A PREDICTOR FOR RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIAL TEARS ASSOCIATED WITH INTRAVITREAL BEVACIZUMAB INJECTIONS

Abstract

Elevated preinjection vPED height is the single most significant predictor for RPE tears after bevacizumab injections for vPED eyes. A vPED height >400 microm is associated with a significant risk for such a complication.
