Comparison of Widefield OCT Angiography Features Between Severe Non-Proliferative and Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

There is a high and ever-increasing global prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and invasive imaging techniques are often required to confirm the presence of proliferative disease. The aim of this study was to explore the images of a rapid and non-invasive technique, widefield optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A), to study differences between patients with severe non-proliferative and proliferative DR (PDR).

Methods

We conducted an observational longitudinal study from November 2022 to March 2023. We recruited 75 patients who were classified into a proliferative group (28 patients) and severe non-proliferative group (47 patients). Classification was done by specialist clinicians who had full access to any multimodal imaging they required to be con
