Multimodal imaging analysis for the impact of retinal peripheral lesions on central neurovascular structure and retinal function in type 2 diabetes with diabetic retinopathy

Conclusions Our study suggests that retinal function is worse in diabetic eyes with PPL. These findings challenged the conventional ETDRS protocols which ignored peripheral retina in determining DR severity. Furthermore, combining UWF imaging with RETeval system to detect more retinal abnormalities may be helpful in DR management.
