Structural and functional abnormalities in early-stage diabetic retinopathy.

Conclusions: The results support previous findings of early retinal neurodegeneration in diabetics who have NDR or MDR. Interestingly, the structural and functional deficits appear to be only weakly associated, suggesting that mechanisms in addition to retinal thinning underlie the functional defects in early stage DR.
