Quantitative Analysis of the Vasculature and Cone Photoreceptors in Subjects With Diabetes Without Diabetic Retinopathy

CONCLUSIONS: CS is the most sensitive CPG index for detecting alterations in the cone mosaic. The DCP and the cone photoreceptors are significantly correlated, indicating that alterations in the DCP can affect the cones. Future work elucidating the vascular alterations and neurodegeneration present in diabetic eyes should focus on the DCP and multiple CPG indices, not solely CD. Moreover, such alterations are highly localized, hence using larger regions e.g. parafovea versus smaller areas, such as the PTQ, will potentially mask significant correlations.PMID:38407181 | DOI:10.1080/02713683.2024.2320787
