Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the heaviest complications of diabetes and also is one of the principal causes of reduced vision and blindness. The leading part in the development of diabetic retinopathy belongs to retina hypoxia. Uniform pathogenesis and generality of clinical attributes allow considering diabetic maculopathy (DMP) as a frequent case of diabetic retinopathy. DMP is characterized by presence of the broadest spectrum of changes in macular areas. Even not rough early manifestations of diabetes in macula can become the catastrophe for central sight. Invalidity of young people of able-bodied age creates serious problems of not only medical, but also social and economic character. At present stage there was formed the tendency to increase informativeness and maximal objectivization of early diagnostics methods. Optical coherent tomography (ОКТ) allows defining objective attributes of diabetic maculopathy. ОКТ reveals changes of thickness of macular and peri-pappilary retina zones at pre-clinical stage of diabetic retinopathy.
