Abstract

PURPOSE: To correlate automated artificial intelligence-based retinal fluid quantification with ellipsoid zone (EZ) thickness and loss, macular neovascularization (MNV) type, and visual function. DESIGN: This is a post hoc analysis of a prospective, real-world, multicenter clinical trial. SUBJECTS: Patients with active neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) were included. METHODS:…
