Utilisation of optical coherence tomography and optical coherence tomography angiography to assess retinal neovascularisation in diabetic retinopathy.

Lesions, considered to be NVE, after further assessment with OCT and OCTA, can be intra-retinal, with ILM disruption but no ILM breach and leakage on FFA. ILM disruption maybe one of the earliest signs of the development of neovascularisation. Visualisation of the relation to the posterior vitreous is likely to be useful in assessing risk of vitreous haemorrhage.
