Abstract
ABSTRACT: The introduction of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) has significantly improved our knowledge on the ocular vascular alterations occurring in diabetes. In this article, we will provide a review of the prominent OCTA findings in diabetes. In details, OCTA demonstrated that both the retinal vessels and the choriocapillaris are affected in diabetic subjects. The recent employment of widefield technology and a 3-dimensional (3D) visualization in OCTA imaging are also discussed.
