Evaluation of Early Retinal Nerve Injury in Type 2 Diabetes Patients Without Diabetic Retinopathy

Conclusions: Retinal nerve injury can occur in patients without retinal microangioma. The inferior RNFL in the macular area and the inferior and temporal peripapillary RNFL were most sensitive to glucose damage. These areas might be associated with early detection of diabetic retinopathy (DR) as they are more likely to indicate early damage.
