Clinical study of diabetic peripheral neuropathy screening by retinal vascular geometric parameters

Abstract To investigate the relationship between geometrical changes of retinal vessels and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), and to determine the effectiveness of retinal vascular geometry analysis and vibration perception threshold (VPT) for DPN assessment. Type 2 diabetes patients (n = 242) w...
