COMPARISION OF VISUAL OUTCOME IN PATIENTS WITH CLINICALLY SIGNIFICANT MACULAR OEDEMAAFTER TREATMENT WITH INTRAVITREAL ANTI -VEGF AND LASER PHOTOCOAGULATION

Purpose: to evaluate, compare and disscuss the therapeutic efficacy of intravitreal anti- VEGF laser photocoagulation in treatment CSME. Material &Method:We have been selected 100 eyes 50 patients diabetic retinopathy with macular edema (CSME) ,out which 26 were excluded due retinal detachment, neovascular glaucoma, complicated cataract, corneal opacity. Total 74 37 has for study divided into two groups equal numbers eyes. Results: In group 1 92% attained V.A. 6/60 – 6/24 pinhole improved 6/36-6/24 BCVA 6/36-6/18, 8% developed CSME involving centre macula contraindication anti-VEGF ( myocardial infarction) show favourable visual outcome 6/60-6/36 when shifted subthreshold .In 2 85 % finger count meter ,V.A. 6/60-6/24, 10% treated attain 6/6/-6/36 from 1meter. Conclusion:This concluded that is better than photocoagulation.
