|a The thresholds of macular microvasculature parameters associated with mild visual impairment in diabetic macular ischemia (DMI) patients are unclear. Therefore, this prospective observational study is aimed at demonstrating the optical coherence tomography angiography parameters that best correlate with mild visual impairment (<70 Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letters, Snellen equivalent 20/40) in DMI. The study was completed at the Moorfields Eye Hospital from December 2019 to August 2021. A total of 123 eyes of 87 patients with stable-treated proliferative diabetic retinopathy following panretinal photocoagulation were recruited. DMI was defined as an irregular foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area ≥ 0.5 mm2 or a smaller FAZ area with parafoveal capillary dropout in at least one quadrant. The analysis showed that the whole image deep vascular complex vessel density (DVC VD) in the 3 × 3 mm area had the best discriminatory ability to identify participants with mild visual impairment at 41.9% (area under the curve = 0.77, sensitivity 94%, specificity 54%, likelihood ratio [LR] = 2.04), and the FAZ area had the greatest post-test LR = 4.21 at 0.64 mm2 . The 3 × 3 mm whole image DVC VD and FAZ area cutoffs are useful for screening vision-threatening DMI, but DVC VD has low specificity. © 2022 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.
