RAP is a neovascularization that starts at the retina and progresses posteriorly into sub retinal space; eventually the neovascularization reaches the choroidal circulation and forms retinal-choroidal anastomoses.
OCT is useful in the initial stage of RAP to image the vessels and the cystic spaces within the retina. As the disease progresses and a serous or vascularized PED occurs.
