Objective: To assess the perifoveal microcirculation in diabetic maculopathy without clinically significant macular edema and its relationship to visual acuity.Design: Prospective analysis.Setting: A teaching hospital.Patients: Fifteen patients with impaired visual acuity of 20/50 or worse, a diabetic control population with unaffected visual acuity (matched age, gender, retinopathy stage), and 52 healthy controls were enrolled.Interventions: Study consisted of video-fluorescein angiography with image analyses and hemoglobin A(1c) measurements.Main Outcome Measures: Macular capillary blood velocity, capillary density (perifoveal intercapillary area), and foveal avascular zone.Results: The capillary blood velocity was significantly reduced in both diabetic groups (P
