#RPD are risk factors for advanced #AMD, leading to vision loss in many patients. There is still we don't understand about this phenotype.

Out now! An important paper raising the issue of under-registration of visual impairment in England for patients with diabetic retinopathy. Even with busy clinics, we need to consider patients with DR as visually impaired, as many of them are.

It includes information about the diagnostic accuracy of OCTA in #nAMD, its use as a tool to confirm the diagnosis, patient follow-up, and diagnosis of the elusive non-exudative MNV.
