Re-evaluating diabetic papillopathy using optical coherence tomography and inner retinal sublayer analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

To re-evaluate diabetic papillopathy using optical coherence tomography (OCT) for quantitative analysis of the peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (pRNFL), macular ganglion cell layer (mGCL) and inner nuclear layer (mINL) thickness.

Subjects/methods

In this retrospective observational case series between June 2008 and July 2019 at Moorfields Eye hospital, 24 eyes of 22 patients with diabetes and optic disc swelling with confirmed diagnosis of NAION or diabetic papillopathy by neuro-ophthalmological assessment were included for evaluation of the pRNFL, mGCL and mINL thicknesses after resolution of optic disc swelling.

Results

The mean age of included patients was 56.5 (standard deviation (SD) ± 14.85) years with a mean follow-up duration of 21
