Clinical Observation of Macular Vessel Density in Type 2 Diabetics with High Myopia

Introduction: To compare the macular retinal vessel density(VD) of diabetics with high myopia, diabetics without high myopia and healthy controls. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited type 2 diabetic (T2D) people with no history of ocular treatment in our hospital. Thirty T2D people with high myopia (30 eyes) were included in group A, while 30 T2D people (30 eyes) without myopia were included in group B. Another healthy volunteers (30 eyes) were included in group C. The superficial and deep capillary plexuses VD of macular were measured in all subjects by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). In T2D people with high myopia, the correlation between VD in macular regions and baseline data was investigated. Results: ① Overall comparison of the 3 groups: No statistically significant differences in macular central superficial vessel density (SVD) were found in the three groups（P> 0.05). There were significant differences in the temporal, superior, nasal, inferior SVD between the 3 groups (P
