Retinal Ganglion Cells Thinning in Eyes With Nonproliferative Idiopathic Macular Telangiectasia Type 2A [Retina]

Conclusions. Our study demonstrated that in eyes with nonproliferative MacTel type 2A there was significant and consistent RGCs degeneration, leading to diffuse thinning of RGCs' dendrites, cell bodies, and axons. These findings are suggestive of neurodegeneration in MacTel type 2A.
