Quantification of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Age and Age-Related Macular Degeneration Using Vessel Density Analysis

Conclusions: Retinal VD maps, derived from the retinal plexi, are not reliable biomarkers for assessing the aging macular. Our nonproprietary analysis of the vascular density of the choriocapillaris revealed a significant drop off of VD with age and disease, but further work is required to corroborate this finding. If repeatable, choriocapillaris VD may provide a noninvasive biomarker of healthy aging and disease.
