ABSTRACT
Purpose: To observe the effects of caffeine intake on vessel densities in macular and peripapillary regions to analyze correlations vascular properties these two interlinked healthy volunteers using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Methods: In this prospective randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled study, 120 participants were grouped into groups: sixty subjects as a study group, which received placebo placebo. OCTA imaging was performed at baseline 1 h after drug intake. Changes radial capillary (RPC) (VD) foveal avascular zone (FAZ) parameters correlation analyzed. Results: Baseline RPC VD FAZ showed no significant difference between groups ( P > 0.05 for all). all segments superficial deep region statistically decrease < 0.001 All positive with perifovea Also, positively correlated except fovea Conclusion: We show that causes subjects, observed parameters. believe future studies are needed support effect idea main parameter estimate
