Diabetic retinopathy and OCT angiography: clinical findings and future perspectives

OCT angiography permits the non-invasive study of retinal and choroid circulation via motion contrast imaging. Split-spectrum amplitude decorrelation angiography, combined with OCT angiography, further enhances understanding of retinal and choroidal vascular diseases, allowing for the evaluation of retinal microvasculature and identification of subsequent disorders. OCT angiography may demonstrate diabetic retinopathy findings such as microaneurysms, arteriolar wall staining, retinal neovascularization, and intraretinal microvascular abnormalities. This article by Garcia and co-workers describes and discusses different concepts regarding OCT angiography, as well as its role in the diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy and maculopathy.
