Macular Vascular Fractal Dimension in the Deep Capillary Layer as an Early Indicator of Microvascular Loss for Retinopathy in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Abstract

Fractal dimension based on OCT-A has the potential to quantitatively characterize retinal microvascular changes in the early stage of DM. Changes in the fractal dimension in the deep retinal capillary layer could be an early indicator of microvasculature changes associated with retinopathy in type 2 diabetic patients.
