Optical coherence tomography angiography findings of neurovascular changes in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients without clinical diabetic retinopathy

ConclusionsPreclinical DR can be detected by OCTA. Parameters such as FAZ, PERIM, CCF, VD and CD may be useful for early detection of microvascular impairments in DM patients with NDR. Superficial VD and FAZ are possible sensitive visual acuity predictors in NDR subjects. OCTA may be a promising non-invasive tool in daily DR screening.
