KOLOA, Hawaii — Ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography may enable more sensitive and specific methods to predict diabetic retinopathy worsening compared with standard FA, Paolo S. Silva, MD, said at Retina 2023.
More than 80% of nonperfusion in diabetic eyes is located outside the posterior pole and ultra-widefield FA allows assessment of nonperfusion in retinal mid- and far peripheral zones, which are not covered by standard ETDRS FA imaging, Silva said.
“With the use of ultra-widefield imaging devices, we are now able to perform angiography that captures a high-resolution,
