Reply to: Comment on: The Protective Effect of Fetal Hemoglobin on Retinal Damage in Sickle Cell Disease Patients: A Correlation With Optical Coherence Tomography, Hematologic Parameters, and Hydroxyurea Treatment

Key Points

• To explore the relationship between fetal hemoglobin levels and retinal damage in sickle cell disease patients.
• Analyzed retinal images using optical coherence tomography
• Assessed hematologic parameters related to sickle cell disease
• Evaluated the impact of hydroxyurea treatment on retinal health
• Higher fetal hemoglobin levels correlate with reduced retinal damage
• Hydroxyurea treatment is associated with improved retinal health in patients
• Optical coherence tomography shows significant differences in retinal structure linked to hemoglobin levels
