Abstract

We read with interest the article titled “Characteristics of Neovascularization in Early Stages of Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy by Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography” by Pan and associates. 1 Pan J. Chen D. Yang X. et al. Characteristics of neovascularization in early stages of proliferative diabetic retinopathy by optical coherence tomography angiography. Am J Ophthalmol. 2018; 192: 146-156 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (51) Google Scholar Characteristics of Neovascularization in Early Stages of Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy by Optical Coherence Tomography AngiographyAmerican Journal of OphthalmologyVol. 192PreviewTo classify retinal neovascularization in untreated early stages of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) based on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Full-Text PDF ReplyAmerican Journal of OphthalmologyVol. 197PreviewWe have described 3 subtypes of neovascularization elsewhere (NVE) that originate from different vessels in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in our study.1 Type 1 NVEs originate from the venous side and are located at the margin of capillary nonperfusion (CNP). Type 2 NVEs originate from the capillary plexus and are located in the CNP. Type 3 NVEs originate from the sea-fan-like intraretinal microvascular abnormalities (IRMAs) and are located in the CNP.
