Prognostics optical coherence tomography biomarker in macular oedema secondary to retinal vein occlusion by Andrea R. Silitonga, Hanna T.H. Silitonga, Rova Virgana, Iwan Sovani, Arief Kartasasmita, Erwin Iskandar, Grimaldi Ihsan, Made Indra

“…Several OCT biomarkers such as disorganisation of the retinal inner layer (DRIL) and disruption of the ellipsoid zone (EZ) and the external limiting membrane (ELM) were identified but did not show significant associations with final BCVA after multivariate analysis. Conclusion: Baseline OCT biomarkers may elucidate the extent of vision loss; however, they may not be reliable in predicting treatment outcomes.…”
