laser photocoagulation in diabetic macular edema: effects on visual acuity and macular edema
due to the importance of clinically significant macular edema in diabetic patients, this study is aimed to determine if laser photocoagulation is effective in the treatment of clinically significant diabetic macular edema. in addition, the effects of risk factors arc surveyed* this is an existing data study considering patients with clinically significant diabetic macular edema, treated with ar...
متن کاملEffect of panretinal photocoagulation on macular morphology and thickness in eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy without clinically significant macular edema
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) on macular morphology and thickness in eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and without clinically significant macular edema. METHODS This was a prospective study of 76 eyes from 68 patients diagnosed to have PDR without clinically significant macular edema. Baseline and post ...
متن کاملThe impact of macular laser photocoagulation on contrast sensitivity function in patients with clinically significant macular edema.
BACKGROUND Contrast sensitivity is an important aspect of visual function and is even more important for ordinary daily tasks than visual acuity. Contrast sensitivity function may be deteriorated to a significant level in diabetic retinopathy, especially in diabetic macular edema. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of macular laser photocoagulation-as the standard treatment...
متن کاملOCT Classification of Clinically Significant Macular Edema
Diabetic macular edema is the commonest cause of visual loss in patients with non proliferative diabetic retinopathy and a common cause of visual loss in PDR. According to Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy study, early detection and laser treatment of clinically significant macular oedema decreases the risk of moderate visual loss by 50%. Though laser has been the standard of care till recen...
متن کاملPredictors of visual acuity in macular edema.
We read the article by Pelosini et al. with interest. This article concludes that the volume of residual retinal tissue between the outer and inner plexiform layers predicts 80% of the visual acuity in eyes with cystoid macular edema secondary to diabetes and uveitis. Recently, we and many other authors reported a correlation of visual acuity with the inner segment/outer segment (IS/OS) junctio...
