Behavior of hyperreflective foci in non-infectious uveitic macular edema, a 12-month follow-up prospective study

Hyperreflective foci have been described in OCT imaging of patients with retinal vascular diseases. It has been suggested that they may play a role as a prognostic factor of visual outcomes in these diseases. The purpose of this study is to describe the presence of hyperreflective foci in patients w...

Description
Summary:Hyperreflective foci have been described in OCT imaging of patients with retinal vascular diseases. It has been suggested that they may play a role as a prognostic factor of visual outcomes in these diseases. The purpose of this study is to describe the presence of hyperreflective foci in patients with non-infectious uveitic macular edema and evaluate their behavior after treatment. We conducted a multicenter, prospective, observational, 12-month follow-up study. Inclusion criteria were age.
