Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) allows the study and classification of new vessels, highlighting their morphology, flow, and exact localization. Absence of dye staining, leakage, and pooling makes choroidal neovascularization (CNV) visualization easier than on fluorescein angiography. The new vessels may be highlighted with accuracy and assessed both qualitatively and quantitatively. OCTA makes it easy to monitor patients with or without treatment, as the OCTA can be repeated safely without much inconvenience to the patient.

Abstract
Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) allows the study and classification of new vessels, highlighting their morphology, flow, and exact localization. Absence of dye staining, leakage, and pooling makes choroidal neovascularization (CNV) visualization easier than on fluorescein angiography. The new vessels may be highlighted with accuracy and assessed both qualitatively and quantitatively. OCTA makes it easy to monitor patients with or without treatment, as the OCTA can be repeated safely without much inconvenience to the patient.
