Purpose To study the correlation of the local ganglion cell layer—inner plexiform layer (GCL-IPL) thickness with corresponding retinal sensitivity as studied with microperimetry in patients with Type 2 diabetes and no signs of diabetic retinopathy. Patients and methods We analyzed 35 healthy subject...
