Overview
We are presenting modern principles of diagnostics and non-invasive monitoring of diabetic retinopathy on a case report of 20-years-old female patient with a 16 years history of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Beside good history and clinical examination the most important part lies on the imaging diagnostic methods. Fluorecein angiography (FAG) to display two-dimensional retinal vascular system and optical coherence tomography (OCT) for retinal examination in cross section. Angio OCT is a new non-invasive imaging examination method of retinal vascular plexuses and choroideal vasculature. Angio OCT provides three-dimensional views of retinal and choroidal vasculature. While FAG is an invasive examination method with all the risks of invasive examination methods. Is time-consuming, costly and contraindicated in pregnant women and patients with severe nephropathy. Angio OCT is noninvasive, reliable, fast, easy to operate, at any time repeatable and safe imaging examination method.
