Our objective is to analyze retinal changes using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to characterize structural and vascular alterations. This cross-sectional study involved 117 eyes: 39 eyes from patients with MCI plus diabetes (DM-MCI), 39 eyes from patients with MCI but no diabetes (MCI); and 39 healthy control eyes (C). All patients underwent a visual acuity measurement, a structural OCT, an OCT-A, and a neuropsychological examination. Our study showed a thinning of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL) and a decrease in macular thickness when comparing the MCI-DM group to the C group (p = 0.008 and p = 0.016, respectively). In addition, an increase in arteriolar thickness (p = 0.016), a reduction in superficial capillary plexus density (p = 0.002), and a decrease in ganglion cell thickness (p = 0.027) were found when comparing the MCI-DM group with the MCI group. Diabetes may exacerbate retinal vascular changes when combined with mild cognitive impairment.
