Diabetics and control groups were recruited from an internal medicine clinic at Misr University for Science and Technology Hospital and asked to participate in this study. This study was designed as an observational and cross-sectional study in the period from 8/2018 to 8/2019.Results: There was a decrease in choroidal vascular density in diabetic patients. There was a decrease in retinal thickness in diabetic patients and there were no signiﬁcant differences in the retinal thickness between control subjects and patients with non-diabetic retinopathy (NDR).Conclusion: Our study suggests that OCTA can identify preclinical DR before the manifestation of clinically apparent retinopathy. Our ﬁndings also highlight the potential role of OCTA in monitoring and quantifying retinal vascular alterations in diabetics.Keywords: diabetic retinopathy, optical coherence tomography angiographySaif PSSalman AERGOmran NAHFarweez YATDove Medical Pressarticlediabetic retinopathyoptical coherence tomography angiographyOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 14, Pp 3941-3953 (2020)
