Acute and subacute macular and peripapillary angiographic changes in choroidal and retinal blood flow post-intravitreal injections

Abstract Whether post injectional acute intraocular pressure (IOP) increase is associated with decreased peripapillary and macular perfusion is still under debate. Here, we investigated early changes in the choroidal and retinal blood flow using OCTA imaging in a cohort of patients undergoing anti-V...
