Screening for sickle cell retinopathy: A comparison of systematic angiography and ultra-widefield imaging

UWF imaging is a safe, reliable, and cost-effective alternative for screening for proliferative SCR. Its non-invasive nature and high sensitivity support its use as a first-line tool. Close monitoring of early or borderline neovascular lesions, which may spontaneously regress, may help to optimize the indications for laser photocoagulation while reducing the need for systematic angiography.
