Relationships between the vascular structure and neural function of the macula in patients with diabetes mellitus

ConclusionsThe OPs of the focal macular ERG are smaller with prolonged implicit times in association with capillary loss in the macula of diabetic patients. The implicit times are the most sensitive functional parameter that reflects the early changes of the microvasculature in the macula caused by diabetes.
