QUANTITATIVE OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY REVEALS ROD PHOTORECEPTOR DEGENERATION in EARLY DIABETIC RETINOPATHY

Conclusion: Quantitative OCT analysis consistently revealed outer retina, i.e., photoreceptor changes in diabetic patients with no DR and mild NPDR. Comparative analysis of central fovea, parafovea, and perifovea confirmed that the photoreceptor abnormality is rod-predominated in early DR.
