Sub-Clinical Regional Macular Changes in Self-Reported Diabetic Subjects: Vascular and Retinal Layer Analysis Using Swept-Source OCT
The findings of this study suggest that the diabetic macula experiences significant ganglion cell layer (GCL) thinning and reduced superficial capillary plexus (SCP) vascular density even before the onset of clinical retinopathy. Swept-source OCT proves to be an essential tool for detecting these early changes in diabetic patients.
