Outer retina dysfunction and choriocapillaris impairment in type 1 diabetes

Abstract To study the outer retina morpho-functional characteristics and the choriocapillaris (CC) features in type 1 diabetic (T1D) patients, with and without signs of diabetic retinopathy (NPDR and NoDR). Twenty-five NPDR and 18 NoDR eyes were imaged by Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography. El...
