Purpose: The aim of the present study was to assess tomographic changes in CGC in diabetic patients with non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NOIA-NA) over a 6-month period and to investigate possible correlations with visual acuity and DM. Materials and methods: This is a prospective observational study, conducted at a diabetes referral centre between January 2017 and January 2020. All patients received a complete ophthalmological examination including measurement of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), a standard automated visual field, and optical coherence tomography of the papilla (the peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer RNFLp) and macula (the ganglion cell layer). Patients were monitored at 3 and 6 months. At each follow-up visit, visual acuity measurement, OCT, and CV were performed. CGC measurements in the affected eyes were compared with those of a control gr.. Read More»
