Internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling on blood flow in diabetic macula

2 February 2024 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous | Diabetes, Epiretinal membrane, Inner limiting membrane, vessel density, vessel length density

This is a retrospective review of notes for diabetic patients with epiretinal membrane (ERM) who underwent surgery by the same surgeon. Nineteen had ERM peeling only, while the remaining 18 had both ERM and internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. The...

Association between neurodegeneration and macular perfusion in the progression of diabetic retinopathy

9 August 2023 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous | Diabetes, Neurodegeneration, Progression, Retinopathy, Vessel closure

In this prospective three-year longitudinal study, the authors aimed to explore the relation between retinal neurodegenerative changes and vessel closure (VC) in individuals with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). The participants included 74 individuals with type 2 diabetes, NPDR, and Early...

Pupil responses in diabetes

4 February 2021 | | Neuro-Ophthalmology | Diabetes mellitus, Diabetic retinopathy, dynamic pupillometry, pupil diameter, static pupillometry

This study aimed to investigate pupillary involvement in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and to evaluate any relationship between severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and pupillary responses. Participants included 133 individuals in four groups: proliferative DR (n=21), non-proliferative...

Nicotine accelerates diabetes induced retinal changes

1 June 2015 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous | Diabetes, SD-OCT, SLO, neurons, nicotine, retinal thickness

This study investigated the influence of nicotine in an experimentally induced diabetic rat model. They used non-invasive high-resolution spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging to provide quantitative information on the temporal alterations of retinal structures at the micrometer resolution...
