Laser-Based Strategies to Treat Diabetic Macular Edema: History and New Promising Therapies
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the main cause of visual impairment in diabetic patients. The management of DME is complex and often various treatment approaches are needed. At the present time, despite the enthusiasm for evaluating several new treatments for DME, including the intravitreal pharmacologic therapies (e.g., corticosteroids and anti-VEGF drugs), laser photocoagulation still remains...
متن کاملPharmacologic therapies for diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema

Early detection of retinopathy in persons with diabetes is...
متن کاملRemote Ischemic Preconditioning and Diabetic Macular Edema
Objective: Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) as the transient ischemia and reperfusion of the arm is a promising method for protecting different tissue from future ischemia. These effects might be mediated through vascular and endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway. We investigated the influence of RIPC on diabetic macular edema (DME) as a chronic ischemic condition in patients who were ...
متن کاملDiabetic Macular Edema
Introduction Over the last one decade the management of diabetic macular edema has undergone a paradigm change. This is attributed to the newer diagnostic tests and pharmacological agents. There are enough good randomized controlled trials to prove the efficacy of these drugs. However, in clinical practice, there are many situations where the application of the findings of these clinical trials...
متن کاملRefractory Diabetic Macular Edema
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is arguably one of the most important challenges in ophthalmology. Macular edema refractory to laser photocoagulation remains the most prevalent cause of untreatable vision loss in diabetes and is responsible for visual disability in millions of people worldwide. The lack of an effective therapeutic solution accounts for the range of interventions proposed. These in...
