After diabetic retinopathy, Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO) is the second most common disease of the retinal vessels
that reduces visual acuity. The degree of retinal damage and visual acuity reduction correlate positively with the
size and location of the obstructed venous vessel supplying the retinal area and with the possibility of collateral
circulation formation. Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A) is a modern, non-invasive method of
assessing haemodynamics in the retinal and choroidal vessels. OCT-A is helpful in diagnosing RVO and assessing
treatment effects. In this review, we present the changes in OCT-A examination of RVO patients before and after
treatment with intravitreal aflibercept injections. Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (Anti-VEGF) treatment
in the RVO patients reduces the Non-Perfusion Area (NPA), improves retinal blood flow,.. View More»
