Changes in choroidal structure following intravitreal aflibercept therapy for retinal vein occlusion.

CONCLUSION: RVO induces substantial oedema of the choroidal stromal area that is detectable by binarisation of EDI-OCT images. This stromal oedema likely stems from high intraocular vascular endothelial growth factor levels. Changes in choroidal structure may be used to assess severity and prognosis of RVO.
