Between January 1982 and December 1983 stereo colour photography covering 10 standard fields of 30 degrees and fluorescein angiography were performed in 64 consecutive patients with diabetes mellitus who had no clinical evidence of diabetic retinopathy. Fifty-two patients were excluded on the basis of the slightest photographic or angiographic evidence of retinopathy or any other ocular disease. Electroretinogram oscillatory potentials were recorded in the remaining 12 patients. Four of the 12 had normal oscillatory potentials, colour photographs and angiograms, while 8 had angiographic evidence of lobular delayed choroidal perfusion and abnormal oscillatory potentials. Although only a small number of patients in the preclinical stages of diabetic retinopathy were studied, the results warrant that further attention be given to lobular delayed choroidal perfusion, which may represent early evidence of choroidal involvement in diabetic retinopathy.
