Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy and retinal vascular disorders have an important impact on visual function in working age population. Despite the recent progress in the treatment options of these diseases, the visual function loss still occurs. Therefore, there is an increasing need in more precise and adequate morphological and functional characterization of these patients as well as better evaluation of safety and efficacy of the treatments. An integrated morpho-functional approach with noninvasive imaging techniques may help in a more appropriate selection of these patients.
