Response to: ‘OCTA, a sensitive screening for asymptomatic retinopathy, raises alarm over systemic involvements in patients with SLE’ by Mizuno et al

We read with interest the letter titled ‘OCTA, a sensitive screening for asymptomatic retinopathy, raises alarm over systemic involvements in patients with SLE’ by Mizuno et al published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases .1 In the letter, the authors pointed out that retinal vasculitis is an important manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), even if the patient is asymptomatic. Furthermore, they claim that patients with abnormal eye findings should be closely followed. We agree with Mizuno et al considering the non-invasive nature of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), the reliability, and that high-resolution images of the retinal vasculature can be obtained approaching histology-level resolution. OCTA seems to …
