Optical Coherence Tomography Measurement and Visual Outcome in Acute Central Retinal Artery Occlusion

Abstract

Both macular and RNFL thickness increased in patients with acute CRAO. RNFL thickness decreased over time with progression of RNFL atrophy. Less macular damage caused by acute CRAO could be predicted by a small difference in macular thickness between eyes (affected eye - fellow eye). In such cases, patients had a greater chance of VA improvement.
