Agra,Cristiana Lumack do Monte; Lira,Rodrigo Pessoa Cavalcanti; Pinheiro,Fernanda Galvão; Sá,Larissa Halley Soares e; Bravo Filho,Vasco Torres FernandesABSTRACT Purpose: To describe microvascular changes in the maculas of individuals with type 2 diabetes observed on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) images. We compared the maculas of diabetic subjects without diabetic retinopathy with those of healthy subjects and correlated the findings with the clinical profiles of diabetic subjects. Methods: One eye each of 30 patients with diabetes and 30 hea...
