Choroidal structural alterations in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without clinical diabetic retinopathy using ultra-widefield swept-source OCTA: A cross-sectional study
Patients with T2DM without DR demonstrated early choroidal thinning and vascular deterioration, which progressively worsened with longer diabetes duration. UWF-SS-OCTA revealed that the choroidal alterations in T2DM without DR were widespread but most pronounced in the peripheral regions, highlighting the importance of wide-field imaging for comprehensive assessment.
