Assessment of Inner and Outer Retinal Layer Changes in Diabetic Retinopathy
Journal Title: Ophthalmology and Allied Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Spectral domain-Optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) provides information about the in-vivo histology of the retina. Diabetic retinopathy is associated with structural changes within the retina.Recently, disorganization of the inner retinal layers has also been shown to correlate with the final visual outcome.These changes can be observed by OCT, and correlate with the visual acuity. Accurate evaluation of the second hyper reflective band in the macular region, Ellipsoid Zone, on OCT is highly significant for providing valuable information regarding disease state and visual prognosis in diabetic retinopathy.We report on the most current and accepted information regarding this disorganization of inner retinal layers and outer retinal layers and its accurate clinical evaluation
