Cortical atrophy predicts visual performance in long-term central retinal disease; GCL, pRNFL and cortical thickness are key biomarkers (vol 63, 12, 2022)
INVESTIGATIVE OPHTHALMOLOGY & VISUAL SCIENCE(2022)
Abstract
Long-term central retinal disease is associated with significant structural changes to both the retina and the brain. Exploratory analysis suggests that monitoring GCL thickness may be a sensitive biomarker of disease progression and reductions in visual cortical thickness may be associated with reduced visual acuity. Although this study is limited by its heterogeneous population, larger cohort studies would be needed to better establish some of the relationships detected between disease dependent structural properties of the anterior and posterior visual pathway given the effect sizes reported in our exploratory analysis.
