Temporal thinning in sickle cell retinopathy is associated with diminished perfusion on octa and dense scotoma on microperimetery

Conclusion: Optical coherence tomography angiography may reflect the extent of functional compromise even before it being evident on fluorescein angiography. The area vascular compromise was larger in the deep plexus compared with the superficial plexus. The area of complete loss of retinal sensitivity corresponds to loss of vasculature in both the superficial and deep plexuses, whereas the area of decreased sensitivities corresponds to compromise only in the deep plexus.
