Structural effects of intraretinal cysts on outer retinal layers in eyes with diabetic macular edema
In patients with DME, large central intraretinal cysts may assume a flat configuration in their lower region, termed a plateau, and are associated with photoreceptor damage due to compression, which can result in visual impairment. These findings can be understood based on modified Hertz's mechanical contact theory.
