Macular microvascular alterations in adults with sickle cell anemia detected by optical coherence tomography angiography
Sickle cell anemia is associated with substantial microvascular compromise in the deep retinal capillary plexus, even in the absence of clinical retinopathy. OCTA proves to be a sensitive, non-invasive imaging modality capable of detecting subclinical vascular changes. Early identification of these alterations may aid in the prevention of vision-threatening complications in SC anemia.
