Early Retinal Microvascular Changes Assessed with Swept-Source OCT Angiography in Type 1 Diabetes Patients without Retinopathy.

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease that can lead to vision loss when diabetic retinopathy develops. Retinal microvascular alterations occur before the appearance of clinical signs on a fundus examination. This study aimed to analyze retinal vascular parameters on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) in patients with type 1 diabetes without diabetic retinopathy in comparison with non-diabetic volunteers.

Repeatability and Reproducibility of Retinal Fractal Dimension Measured with Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Healthy Eyes: A Proof-of-Concept Study.

The retinal vascular network fractal dimension (FD) could be a promising imaging biomarker. Our objective was to evaluate its repeatability and reproducibility in healthy eyes. A cross-sectional study was undertaken with young, healthy volunteers who had no reported cardiac risk factors or ocular disease history.

Peripapillary Microvascularization Analysis Using Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Optic Chiasmal Compression.

Purpose: To evaluate the vessel density (VD) of the radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) network using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) "en face" images of eyes with chiasmal compression caused by brain tumors before and after decompressive surgery compared with healthy controls.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 12 patients with chiasmal compression confirmed by neuroimaging. Sixteen healthy participants were also included.
