Timeframe: 6 months

Population: Totally, 25 eyes of 25 patients (13 males, 12 females, mean age 63.80±11.45 years; range: 41-80 years) were included in the study.

The number of MAs in individual retinas were evaluated during 6 months using fundus photography and FA imaging. The Retmarker software was used for automatic measurement and analysis of changes in number and extent of MAs on fundus photographs and to calculate the total number and turnover of MAs. Changes in MAs were analyzed statistically. the total number of MAs compare the degree of improvement or worsening of vision at baseline and 6 months. (value at 6 months minus value at baseline)

number of new MAs detected/month The MAs in individual retinas were evaluated at 6 months using fundus photography. The Retmarker (version 1.0.2 by Retmarker Ltd, Coimbra, Portugal) software was used for automatic measurement and analysis of changes in number and extent of MAs on fundus photographs and to calculate the total number and turnover of MAs. MA turnover was calculated by adding the MA formation rate (number of new MAs detected/month) to the MA disappearance rate (number of MAs that resolved/month). The microaneurysm formation rate compare the degree of improvement or worsening of vision at baseline and 6 months. (value at 6 months minus value at baseline)
