Patterns of Peripheral Retinal and Central Macula Ischemia in Diabetic Retinopathy as Evaluated by Ultra-widefield Fluorescein Angiography

Ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography provides an insight into the relationships between diabetic vascular complications in the retinal periphery and central macula. Although we observed relationships between ischemia and vascular leakage in the macula and periphery, it was only macular ischemia and retinal thinning that was independently associated with a reduced visual function.
