In vivo assessment of macula in eyes of healthy children 8 to 16 years old using optical coherence tomography angiography
Abstract The purpose of the present study was to investigate the vascular flow density (VD) of macular superficial (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP), and choriocapillaris and the size of the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area in healthy children using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA)....
