Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a major complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) that can lead to irreversible vision loss and blindness. DR and diabetic macular edema (DME) are associated with visual complications. Different imaging modalities have been used to diagnose DR and DME, including invasive and non-invasive angiography.

Recently, optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) has been introduced as a novel depth-resolved non- invasive technique of retinal vascular imaging. Since the advent of OCTA, our knowledge regarding retinal microvasculature in ischemic and non-ischemic ocular diseases has expanded exponentially; however, the true implications of OCTA in routine clinical practice for patients with DM are yet to be determined.

The objective of this research project is to compile a comprehensive and authoritative collection of papers on OCTA and its role in detecting and monitoring ocular complications of DM. This project will also explore novel applications of this non-invasive imaging modality in the management of patients with DR and DME.

This research topic welcomes contributions of any type (clinical trial, correction, editorial, general commentary, hypothesis & theory, methods, mini review, opinion, original research, perspective, policy and practice reviews, review, study protocol, systematic review, technology, and code) on topics around OCTA findings in DR, including but not limited to:
-OCTA for screening of DR
-Staging of DR based on OCTA findings
-Role of artificial intelligence in the interpretation of OCTA images
-Prognosis of DME treatment based on OCTA findings

Keywords: OCTA, Diabetic Retinopathy, Diabetic Macular Edema, Retinal Capillary Non-perfusion, Forveal Avascular Zone


Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
