Abstract

The most dangerous consequences of the global epidemic of diabetes mellitus (DM) are its systemic vascular complications – nephropathy, retinopathy, damage to the main vessels of the heart, brain, peripheral vessels of the lower extremities. These complications are the main cause of disability and mortality of patients with DM. Diagnosis of ophthalmoscopic changes in pathological neovascularization in diabetic patients associated with myopia causes certain difficulties in the work of an ophthalmologist. The use of ophthalmoscopy with a Goldman lens and targeted OCT angiography with an expanded scanning area of 10 × 10 mm allows timely detection of hidden areas of ischemia and neovascularization, as well as to determine the tactics and scope of therapeutic measures in the form of panretinal laser coagulation to sta-bilize the proliferative process.
