Natural History of Retinal Sensitivity Loss in Diabetic Macular Ischemia
Practical Solutions and Value
- This study observed how retinal sensitivity changes over one year in diabetic macular ischemia.
- Researchers recruited patients with stable-treated proliferative diabetic retinopathy and evidence of macular ischemia.
- They used microperimetry to assess retinal sensitivity at the beginning and end of the study.
- Results showed that while there were no significant changes in retinal sensitivity overall, a significant number of patients experienced mild to severe losses in specific areas of the macula.
- The study suggests that measuring the pointwise sensitivity loss in specific areas of the macula may be a more practical outcome measure for clinical trials in diabetic macular ischemia.
