Abstract
• Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a sight-threatening complication of diabetes and is known to be the leading cause of blindness.• Fluorescein angiography is one of the most important tools for evaluating diabetic retinopathy.• The peripheral retina is the site of many diabetic retinopathy lesions, Therefore evaluation of the retinal periphery is important for screening, diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of DR• Conventional (FA) covers retinal area of 30°- 60° in one exposure. Hence it is a time-consuming procedure to angiograph the retinal periphery and it depends on patient`s cooperation and operator`s expertise. • Recently, Heidelberg Spectralis ultra-widefield angiography module was developed and it consists of an interchangeable noncontact 102° lens that attaches to the camera head to provide high-contrast, undistorted and evenly illuminated 102° images in one exposure and at the same time point. Aim of the work:• The aim of this study is to compare the HEIDELBERG SPECTRALIS Standard field 55° lens and UWF 102° lens in diagnosis and evaluation of severity of DR and detection of new vascularization.
