BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the acute effects of nicotine on macular microvasculature by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Non-smokers who were administered 4 mg nicotine gum (study group) or placebo gum (control group) were enrolled, 18 individuals in each group. All participants underwent OCTA at baseline and 1 hour after gum chewing. Macular flow area, macular vessel density, foveal avascular zone area, central foveal thickness, and subfoveal choroidal thickness were analyzed.
RESULTS: Macular flow area, vessel density, and subfoveal choroidal thickness decreased in the nicotine group (P < .05). No statistically significant difference observed in central foveal thickness, when compared with baseline measurement (P > .05).
CONCLUSIONS: Nicotine causes a significant decrease in macular microcirculation. Deterioration of macular microcirculation can be quantitatively detected by OCTA noninvasively. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2019;50:691-700.].
