purpose: to evaluate the anatomic and visual results and complications of vitrectomy in eyes with diffuse refractory diabetic macular edema associated with a taut posterior hyaloid. methods: this prospective interventional case series was conducted on 25 eyes of 22 patients with diffuse clinically significant diabetic macular edema, macular thickness greater than 250 microns on optic coherence ...

purpose : to evaluate the effect of intraviteral bevacizumab (ivb) in diabetic macular edema (dme), using multifocal electroretinography (mferg) methods : sixty-four eyes of 32 patients with bilateral symmetric clinically significant macular edema (csme) were included in the study. after taking a baseline mferg, macular photocoagulation (mpc) was done in all eyes. after 7 days, 1.25 mg of bevac...

PURPOSE To assess the macular thickness changes after cataract surgery in diabetic patients using optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of 104 diabetic patients who underwent cataract surgery. We examined the changes of macular thickness using OCT before cataract surgery and 1 week, 1-, 2- and 6-months after surgery. The central subfield mean thic...

-Diabetic Macular Edema disease leads to vision loss problem in Diabetic patients. Early detection of Macular Edema in diabetic patients pave a path for prevention from blindness. Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) occurs when blood vessels in the retina of patients with diabetes begin to leak into the macula region of eye. These leakages cause the macula to thicken and swell, progressively leads to ...

Nowadays Diabetic retinopathy has become a common eye disease in most of the developed countries. it occurs in almost 80% of all diabetic cases and is the leading cause of blindness. Diabetic macular edema (DME) is an advanced symptom of diabetic retinopathy and can lead to irreversible vision loss. So the importance of automatic assessment of macular edema increased. In this paper we have done...

PURPOSE Little information is available about the natural history of vitreomacular traction (VMT) associated with diabetic macular edema. A few cases of spontaneous resolution of VMT associated with diabetic macular edema have been described, but have not been documented by optical coherence tomography (OCT). The authors report the spontaneous resolution of VMT associated with diabetic macular ...

PURPOSE To identify the retinal layer predominantly affected in eyes with subclinical and clinical macular edema in diabetes type 2. METHODS A cohort of 194 type 2 diabetic eyes/patients with mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (ETDRS levels 20/35) were examined with Cirrus spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) at the baseline visit (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01145...

PURPOSE To examine the association of individual and combined indicators of diabetes control with diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this clinical, cross-sectional study, 613 adults with type 2 diabetes (372 any diabetic retinopathy; 183 any diabetic macular edema) were examined. Diabetic retinopathy was assessed from fundus photographs; diabetic macular...
