PURPOSE: This study aims to investigate retinal structure and vessel density (VD) alterations in the macular and optic nerve head (ONH) regions of patients with dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON), and to assess their correlation with visual function.
METHODS: A total of 133 thyroid eye disease (TED) patients (63 with DON and 70 without DON) and 24 healthy controls were enrolled. Retinal structural and vascular parameters were quantified using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in the macular (6 × 6 mm) and ONH (4 × 4 mm) regions. Visual function in TED patients was assessed by best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), visual field (VF), and visual evoked potentials. The diagnostic performance of OCTA parameters for identifying DON was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).
RESULTS: Compared with the non-DON patients, those with DON exhibited significantly decreased retinal VD in both macular and ONH regions, accompanied by thinner macular retina. The most pronounced changes were observed in macular whole retinal layer (WRL) and superficial retinal layer VD (P < 0.001). Both retinal VD and thickness correlated positively with BCVA and VF mean deviation. Furthermore, the macular WRL-VD demonstrated the highest diagnostic performance for DON (AUC = 0.833) and the combination parameters further improved accuracy (AUC = 0.861).
CONCLUSIONS: OCTA reveals retinal microvascular and structural alterations in DON and may serve as a simple, precise, and noninvasive tool for early detection and clinical management to prevent irreversible visual loss.
