Popis: Abstract To examine the use of anterior segment-optical coherence tomography angiography (AS-OCTA) in the assessment of limbal ischemia in an animal model chemical ocular injury. We conducted a prospective study using an established chemical ocular injury model in 6 rabbits (12 eyes), dividing the cornea limbus into 4 quadrants. Chemical injury grade was induced based on extent of limbal injury (0 to 360 degrees) and all eyes underwent serial slit-lamp with AS-OCTA imaging up to one month. Main outcome measure was changes in AS-OCTA vessel density (VD) comparing injured and control cornea limbal quadrants within 24 h and at one month. AS-OCTA was able to detect differences in limbal VD reduction comparing injured (3.3 ± 2.4%) and control quadrants (7.6 ± 2.3%; p
