Description
Francesco Romano and colleagues image in 2026 the walls of retinal veins in eyes where dye tests show leakage, comparing two causes side by side. Twenty nine eyes with leakage from a blocked retinal vein or from active uveitis were scanned with a high resolution form of optical coherence tomography along the leaking veins. Healthy matched vessels served as the comparison.
Forty veins were measured in all. Blocked vein eyes showed wider vein lumens, thicker inner retina, and fluid like spaces, with the outer wall largely spared. Uveitis eyes instead changed most in the outer wall, a contrasting signature the authors detail with thickness numbers. A subset of uveitis eyes was rescanned after the inflammation settled into remission, letting the team watch the wall changes evolve. The patterns may help separate causes without dye.
