This study shows that PTOCT imaging of GNR in the LCNV model can be used to detect clinically relevant, anti-VEGF-induced changes that are not visible using standard OCT systems. In the future this technology could be used to aid in early detection of disease, monitoring disease progress, and assessing its response to therapies.
