Ophthalmologic findings in patients with diabetes.
Examples of pathological ophthalmologic findings in the left eye of a patient
with diabetes. (a) Fundus photography showing optic nerve head and macula
with signs of moderate DR: microaneurysms (red dots), small hemorrhages (red
spots), hard exudates (yellow spots), and cotton-wool spots (white spots).
(b) Fluorescein angiography showing the dye within the retinal vessels and
capillaries, leakage of the dye outside the vessel is visible in multiple
spots. (c) Spectral-domain OCT showing diabetic macula edema, the
intraretinal fluid appears as black circles. (d) OCT showing near normal
retinal thickness after intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF, the
intraretinal fluid is almost completely resorbed. (e) OCT-angiography
(without dye) showing the flow within the retinal microvessels around the
central avascular arcade and (f) the corresponding OCT-angiography scan
highlighting the particular segmentation of the retina (red lines) and the
flow measurement (yellow) within all layers of the retina.
