Abstract
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) has been considered a type of microvascular problem. Recently, both neural and microvascular factors have been associated with DR.Furthermore, retinal neurodegeneration has been found to have a significant role in the pathogenesis of DR, including apoptosis of retinal neuronal cells and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thinning. Examining the changes of the RNFL and RPCs can provide an improved clinical understanding of neurodegeneration during the different stages of DR. However, there is little quantitative information regarding RPC microcirculation in diabetic patients.
