PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare high-resolution stereoscopic digital photography to contact lens biomicroscopy (CLBM) for the diagnosis of clinically significant macular edema. STUDY DESIGN Comparative, prospective, observational case series. PARTICIPANTS One hundred twenty diabetic patients. METHODS Patients underwent clinical retinal examination with CLBM by a retinal s...

PURPOSE Intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide has been advocated to treat exudative diabetic macular edema. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of an intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide as treatment for diffuse diabetic macular edema. METHODS This study was a retrospective, interventional, clinical case series examining 210 eyes of 174 patie...

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...

Newly Recognized Serous Macular Detachment in Retinal Vascular Disease Serous macular detachment has only recently been recognized to occur in a significant number of eyes with retinal vascular leakage, including diabetic macular edema,1,2 branch retinal vein occlusion,3–5 central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO),6 and hypotony maculopathy.7 These serous retinal detachments associated with retinal...

purpose: to evaluate the rate of optical coherence tomography (oct) grid decentration in a routine practice and its effect on thickness measurements methods: topcon spectral domain oct scans from various macular diseases including age related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, macular pucker and central serous chorioretinopathy (cscr) were studied in all patients visited during seven...
