Imaging retinal inflammatory biomarkers after intravitreal steroid and anti-VEGF treatment in diabetic macular oedema

Retinal reperfusion in diabetic retinopathy following treatment with anti-VEGF intravitreal injections

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to report peripheral reperfusion of ischemic areas of the retina on ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography (UWFA) following anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) intravitreal injections in patients treated for diabetic retinopathy. METHODS This study is a retrospective review of 16 eyes of 15 patients with diabetic retinopathy, who received anti-VEGF...

Anti-VEGF in treatment of diabetic macular edema.

Diabetic macular edema is the leading cause of moderate visual deterioration in patients with diabetic retinopathy. Ranibizumab) blocks vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) induced hyperpermeability of blood vessels. In this prospective case series we investigated the efficacy and safety of anti-VEGF treatment in reduction of central retinal thickness (CRT) and improvement in visual acuity...

Outer retinal tubulation in diabetic macular edema following anti-VEGF treatment

BACKGROUND To address the presence and features of outer retinal tubulation (ORT) found in diabetic macular edema (DME) treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) and to differentiate between ORT and cystoid DME, which have different plans of management. METHODS This was a retrospective review of a total of 514 patients investigated with spectral domain optical coherence...

ANTI-VEGF THERAPY FOR DIABETIC MACULAR EDEMA Anti-VEGF Therapy For Diabetic Macular Edema

Retinal thickness change after focal laser treatment of diabetic macular oedema.

Laser photocoagulation has been used successfully for the treatment of clinically significant macular oedema to reduce the risk of loss of vision in diabetic patients. A quantitative method for measuring retinal thickness was applied to 20 patients with diabetic macular oedema before and 4 months after focal laser treatment to assess the reduction in retinal thickening and its relation to visua...
