Main Article Content

Abstract

In the era of non-invasive imaging, OCTA has emerged as a modern tool for monitoring the therapeutic response of retinal neovascularization following anti-VEGF injection. We report a case of a 40-year-old male patient with type 2 diabetes, diagnosed with proliferative diabetic retinopathy, who was treated with three consecutive intravitreal injections of Bevacizumab. Through OCTA follow-up and ETDRS grid analysis, we recorded an improvement in visual acuity along with a marked reduction in neovascular area, vessel density, and perfusion density after each injection. The clinical outcomes highlight the practical role of OCTA in evaluating treatment response and guiding timely therapeutic adjustments.
