Posterior Retinal Ischemia Correlates With Vision in Patients With Diabetes
Retinal ischemia's topographic location differentially affects visual function in diabetes. Posterior ischemia predominantly impacts LLVA, whereas both macular and posterior ischemia contribute to BCVA decline. These results highlight the importance of assessing retinal ischemia beyond the macula to better understand visual function deficits in patients with diabetes.
