Abstract
Keywords: Diabetic retinopathy; Retina; Optical coherence tomography; Optical coherence tomography angiography; Wide field angiography Purpose of Review For over 50 years, diabetic retinopathy (DR) has been classified by pathologic features seen on clinical examination and conventional retinal photographs. However, newer technology such as optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) now enables rapid acquisition of retinal structural and vascular information in a reliable, non-invasive, high-resolution fashion. Here, we highlight recent studies that have explored wide field swept-source OCTA (WF SS-OCTA) for the diagnosis and management of DR. Recent Findings Multiple studies have demonstrated the utility of WF SS-OCTA for detection of all clinically relevant features of DR. An updated DR staging system is proposed that leverages the advantages of WF SS-OCTA, including the ability to correlate detailed vascular and structural pathology over time with longitudinal imaging. Summary WF SS-OCTA has tremendous potential for evaluating patients with DR. A new WF SS-OCTA-based staging system may be useful in routine clinical practice and for clinical trials.
