Longitudinal changes in retinal microvasculature after panretinal photocoagulation in diabetic retinopathy using swept-source OCT angiography

Abstract This study evaluated quantitative changes in microvascular parameters after panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) in diabetic retinopathy (DR), using swept-source OCT Angiography (SS-OCTA). A total of 27 treatment-naïve eyes were subjected to PRP and followed-up for > 12 months after the pro...
