LONGITUDINAL CHANGE OF OUTER NUCLEAR LAYER AFTER RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIAL TEAR SECONDARY TO AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION

Abstract

After an retinal pigment epithelium tear, thinning of ONL occurs in the area devoid of retinal pigment epithelium and also in adjacent areas. Few factors were predictive for the degree of ONL thinning. These results provide new insight in disease progression of this particular neovascular age-related macular degeneration subphenotype.
