New, Previously Unknown, Uses of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA)

Sickle cell maculopathy was sparingly mentioned in the literature before despite the fact that sickle cell disease or sickle cell trait is common in people of many areas of the world. This study shows that OCTA is a very valuable, non invasive, office procedure that may well be used in diagnosing this disease.

About this study

this is a clinical study of two African Canadian patients that were diagnosed with sickle cell trait. I used OCTA to show macular vascular occlusions that usually happen with this disease.

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

people with sickle cell trait or sickle cell disease -

Exclusion criteria

Treatment and study plan

Optical coherence tomography angiography

Device

Primary outcomes

  1. vascular changes seen in the macular vasculature of people with sickle cell disease/ trait as compared to macular vasculature of normal macula.

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of one year

    in this angiography the delicate vasculature of the macula can be clearly visualized and documented.
