Implication

Retrospective analysis reveals compromised microcirculation in typical retinitis pigmentosa patients, suggesting potential biomarkers for visual acuity.

Key Points

Compromised macular microvascular integrity correlates with reduced visual function in retinitis pigmentosa.
FAZ area was significantly larger in the isolated macular lesion group compared to healthy controls.
Decreased vessel density and outer retinal flow were linked to poorer vision in patients with isolated lesions.
OCTA imaging provides valuable insights for monitoring visual impairment in retinitis pigmentosa.
