Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -With OCT, the analysis of single retinal layers thickness showed a slight progressive thinning of the inner retina layers, specifically RNFL, GCL, IPL, and INL and a mild thickening of ORL in diabetic eyes compared to controls, even if a statistically significant difference was not reached.
Detailed explanation-2: -The ellipsoid zone (EZ), formerly known as the inner/outer segment of photoreceptors (IS/OS), refers to the second hyper-reflective band on an optical coherence tomography (OCT) image (Fig.
