PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate alterations of outer retinal reflectivity on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) in diabetic patients without clinically detectable retinopathy (NDR). METHODS: In this retrospective study, 64 NDR patients and 71 controls were included. Relative reflectivity (RR) of the ellipsoid zone (EZ), photoreceptor outer segment (OS) and inner segment (IS), and outer nuclear layer (ONL) at the foveola and at 500 μm, 1000 μm, and 2000 μm nasal (N), temporal (T), superior (S), and inferior (I) to the foveola was measured by cross-line OCT and ImageJ...
