Characterization of Macrophage-Like Cells in Retinal Vein Occlusion Using En Face Optical Coherence Tomography

Abstract

The increased density and changes of morphology characterized by OCT may indicate generalized activation and aggregation of MLCs in RVO. More MLCs are recruited in the perfused region rather than the non-perfused region. RVO eyes with a higher density of MLCs tend to suffer from the thicker macula.
