Vitrectomy for persistent diffuse diabetic macular edema.
PURPOSE To evaluate the potential benefit of vitrectomy in eyes with persistent diffuse macular edema. DESIGN Prospective randomized comparative clinical trial. METHODS Eyes with diffuse diabetic macular edema for 6 to 18 months, an attached posterior hyaloid, and grid laser photocoagulation performed at least 4 months before were included. Patients were randomized either to a vitrectomy gr...
متن کاملPharmacologic therapies for diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema (DME) are leading causes of blindness in the working-aged population of most developed countries. The increasing number of persons with diabetes worldwide suggests that DR/DME will continue to be major contributors to vision loss and associated functional impairment for years to come. 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 کاملVitrectomy for diabetic macular edema; where are we?
Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of visual impairment in the working age group mainly due to diabetic macular edema (DME). As the incidence of diabetes is increasing in human populations, the visual burden of DME is expected to expand. The standard treatment for DME has been macular laser photocoagulation for almost two decades but has shifted to intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF age...
متن کاملValidity of Optical Coherence Tomography as a Diagnostic Method for Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic Macular Edema
To validate optical coherence tomography (OCT) for the diagnosis of referable retinopathy (severe, very severe or proliferative retinopathy, and macular edema) in diabetic patients. We performed a cross-sectional observational study. A random sample was analyzed comprising 136 eyes of diabetic patients referred to the hospital in Elche (Spain) with suspected referable retinopathy between Octobe...
