Association between retinal vein occlusion, axial length and vitreous chamber depth measured by optical low coherence reflectometry

Table 1 Summary of previous studies using AL measurements in patients with CRVO, BRVO or hemispheric retinal vein occlusion (HRVO) based on A scan ultrasonography (^†) or partial coherence laser interferometry (^††) measurements [9-21]

Asterisk indicates a difference that is considered statistically significant (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.001). ( − = not studied).
