Abstract
Background and objective: Outer retinal tubulation (ORT) is an optical coherence tomography finding in numerous chronic retinal diseases, including geographic atrophy (GA). The objective of this study was to evaluate longitudinal best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) outcomes in patients with GA comparing eyes with and without ORT at baseline.
Patients and methods: This post hoc longitudinal analysis assessed 300 eyes randomized to sham treatment in the phase 3 OAKS and DERBY trials. Mean change in BCVA over 24 months was calculated, comparing lesions with ORT versus those without ORT at baseline.
Results: Ninety-six (32.0%) of the 300 sham-treated eyes with GA had an ORT at baseline. Eyes with ORT at baseline lost on average 5.5 fewer Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study letters than eyes without ORT.
Conclusion: Sham-treated eyes with ORT at baseline had less loss of BCVA over 24 months than eyes without ORT. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina 2025;56:XX-XX.].
