متن کاملTreatment choice for diabetic macular edema.
Macular edema is a common cause of vision loss in patients with diabetes. Chronic elevation of serum glucose levels leads to capillary damage that results in microaneurysm formation in the retina. Leakage from these microaneurysms leads to vision loss if the fluid involves the center of the fovea. The mainstay of therapy for more than 25 years was focal laser photocoagulation applied to or near...
متن کاملOptimizing laser Treatment for Diabetic Macular Edema
l aser photocoagulation continues to play a prominent role in the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME) despite the introduction of anti-VEGF medications. Although traditional continuous-wave laser mode has proved to be effective for DME, as shown in the Early Treatment for Diabetic Retinopathy Study1 there are a number of drawbacks including, but not limited to, permanent destruction of th...
متن کاملThe natural history of tractional cystoid macular edema.
BACKGROUND To describe clinical outcomes in a series of patients with tractional cystoid macular edema, a variant of vitreomacular traction syndrome. METHODS Twelve consecutive patients (15 eyes) with tractional cystoid macular edema of maximum diameter of ≤550 μm and presenting corrected-distance visual acuity of ≤0.3 (Snellen ≥20/40) were studied. Each patient underwent ophthalmic examinati...
متن کاملPrimary treatment of diabetic macular edema
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a leading cause of vision loss in older Americans. Thermal laser treatment remains the mainstay of treatment for DME. Recently, alternative primary treatments for DME have been evaluated. These treatments include intravitreal injections of steroids as well as pharmaceuticals containing antibodies against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Surgical treatme...
