Patients with diabetic macular oedema (DME) have smaller choroidal thickness measurements in affected and unaffected eyes compared with healthy individuals, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) imaging results reveal.
The clinical trial included automated analysis of SD OCT scans and fluorescein angiograms for 115 patients with clinically significant but untreated DME in one eye, plus eyes from 20 healthy individuals.
Total choroidal thickness was significantly reduced in the eyes directly affected by DME and the nonoedematous fellow eyes of the patients than that of the control eyes, at 175 µm and 177 µm versus 190 µm, respectively.
