Abstract:
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, which can damage the blood-retinal barrier and cause diabetic retinopathy (DR); hypertension can cause arteriosclerosis of retinal arterioles with the disease progression; dyslipidemia can cause atherosclerosis, and severe hypertriglyceridemia can lead to fundus changes. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a novel non-invasive fundus angiography technique to quantify the changes of retinal microcirculation. This article elaborate the principle and advantages of OCTA technique, reviews its application in evaluation of fundus microcirculation in patients with DR, hypertensive retinopathy and dyslipidemia, and also discusses the development prospect of OCTA in analysis of retinal microcirculation in the future.
