Abstract

Background: Diabetic retinopathy is characterized by microvascular, neural and glial cell damage. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) can detect subclinical microvasculopathy while multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) can detect subclinical local retinal dysfunction before onset of clinically observable retinopathy. Here, we investigated the relationship between retinal dysfunction in multifocal electroretinography and vascular changes in optical coherence tomography angiography.
