Abstract
Electroretinography and optical coherence tomography imaging allow for non-invasive quantitative assessment of the retina. These approaches have become mainstays for identifying the very earliest impact of hyperglycemia on retinal function and structure in animal models of diabetic eye disease. Moreover, they are essential for assessing the safety and efficacy of novel treatment approaches for diabetic retinopathy. Here, we describe approaches for in vivo electroretinography and optical coherence tomography imaging in rodent models of diabetes.
