Outcomes of an algorithmic approach to treating mild ocular alkali burns.

The OCT angiograms showed reduced CNV flow area and CNV vessel loss following treatment. Because retinal vessel density did not decrease, reduced areas of CNV flow likely represent therapeutic effect. Optical coherence tomographic angiography can also be used to evaluate blood flow of the choriocapillaris. In healthy eyes, the choriocapillaris appears confluent on OCTangiograms.4 In this case, areasof reducedchoriocapillaris flow were noted. Choroidal ischemia has been proposed as a precursor to CNV.6 Further study is needed to determine whether reduced choriocapillaris flow is associated with chronic CSC and whether it may increase risk of CNV development.
