Correlation between Visual Acuity and Optical Coherence Tomography-Measured Retinal Thickness in Diabetic Macular Edema
Background and Objective: Diabetic macular edema (DME) is one of the common complications of diabetes which significantly accounts for preventable visual impairment and blindness. Central macular thickness (CMT) is a feature found in DME patients. This study aims to determine the relationship between optical coherence tomography (OCT)-measured CMT and visual acuity (VA) in patients with DME bef...
متن کاملRelationship between Outer Retinal Layers Thickness and Visual Acuity in Diabetic Macular Edema
PURPOSE To investigate the correlation of outer retinal layers (ORL) thickness and visual acuity (VA) in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). METHODS Consecutive DME patients seen at the Retina Clinic of The University of Hong Kong were recruited for OCT assessment. The ORL thickness was defined as the distance between external limiting membrane (ELM) and retinal pigment epithelium (RP...
متن کاملusing asymmetric mixed bivariate modeling for comparing diabetic macular edema treatments according to visual acuity and central macular thickness outcomes
purpose: one of the major causes of visual acuity loss in diabetic patients is diabetic macular edema (dme). best-corrected visual acuity and central macular thickness changes are considered as two main outcomes in diabetic macular patients. the goal of this study was to compare the effect of intravitreal bevacizumab injection alone or combined with triamcinolone versus macular photocoagulation...
