The introduction of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) has remarkably expanded our knowledge of the ocular vascular alterations occurring in diabetes. In this article, a review of the prominent OCTA findings in diabetes is followed by a description of salient histological and anatomical features of microaneurysms, essential for the proper interpretation of in vivo imaging of these retinal vascular abnormalities. The recent employment of a three-dimensional (3D) visualization in OCTA imaging is also discussed. The latter imaging technique has granted a detailed characterization of microaneurysms in vivo.
