Summary Correlations in retinal vein occlusion ( RVO ) patients between macular vascular densities in the superficial and deep capillary plexuses obtained using OCT ‐Angiography ( OCTA ) and the data from conventional examination (visual acuity and peripheral retinal non perfusion on fluorescein angiography) might reveal new insights in the pathogenesis of vascular damage. Through a retrospective, observational study of RVO patients with who underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic examination including FA and OCTA a significant correlation between automatically quantified macular vascular density on OCTA and peripheral non‐perfusion on FA was demonstrated; OCTA could help in identifying high‐risk RVO patients who may benefit from further evaluation using FA .
