Forty-nine healthy eyes, 80 diabetic retinopathy (DR) eyes (59 non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) eyes and 21 proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) eyes) were examined with OCT to obtain nine horizontal lines (far superotemporal, near superotemporal, central, near inferotemporal, far inferotemporal, far superonasal, near superonasal, near inferonasal, far inferonasal) inside and outside of the vascular arcade. Nine points were chosen in 0.
