Thus, if the diagnostic data provided by functional OCT are at least equivalent or superior to those achieved by FA, patients and healthcare providers could realize a substantial benefit in utilizing this technology in the evaluation of retinal vascular disease. Even in the scenario in which an FA is not usually clinically indicated, OCT angiography may provide information over that of standard OCT and clinical examination and history, that might help clinicians better understand the etiology of the disease, and may even help inform treatment response.
