Association between integrity of foveal photoreceptor layer and visual acuity in branch retinal vein occlusion

Table 3 Correlation between status of third HRB at initial visit examined at 500, 1000 and 1500 µm from fovea and final VA
Third HRB status at initial visit VA at final visit p Value
⩾20/32 <20/32
In the fovea:

  • VA, visual acuity; HRB(+), eyes with third high reflectance band (HRB) in the fovea; HRB(−), eyes without third HRB in the fovea.
