purpose: to determine the effect of grid pattern laser photocoagulation on diabetic diffuse macular edema with assessment of visual outcome. patients & methods: the author reviewed the medical records of 84 eyes of 62 patients with diabetic diffuse macular edema treated with grid pattern green argon laser photocoagulation in farabi eye hospital between the years 1992-1995, the follow-up period ...

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 compare the 6-months anatomic and best corrected visual acuity (bcva) responses after primary intravitreal bevacizumab (ivb intravitreal avastin) and ivb plus macular photocoagulation (mpc) in diabetics with clinically significant macular edema (csme) methods : in this interventional randomized clinical trial (rct) 40 diabetics (80 eyes) with bilateral csme and non-proliferative di...

CASE REPORT We report the case of a 48-year-old man with diffuse diabetic macular edema of recent progression treated with two consecutive intravitreal injections of bevacizumab followed by focal laser therapy, with good anatomic and functional response. DISCUSSION Diffuse diabetic macular edema is difficult to manage and frequently requires multiple therapies. We propose the use of bevacizum...

BACKGROUND The causative role of diffuse macular edema in various etiologies is often undetermined. OBJECTIVES To describe an association between extrafoveal vitreous traction and non-diabetic diffuse macular edema secondary to various ocular entities. METHODS In a retrospective study of eyes with non-diabetic diffuse macular edema, charts and optical coherence tomography scans demonstratin...

OBJECTIVES To investigate optical coherence tomography consistency on foveal thickness, foveal volume, and macular volume measurements in patients with and without diffuse diabetic macular edema. INTRODUCTION Optical coherence tomography represents an objective technique that provides cross-sectional tomographs of retinal structure in vivo. However, it is expected that poor fixation ability, ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of different doses of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide on diffuse diabetic macular edema. METHODS In a retrospective study, 44 eyes with diffuse diabetic macular edema were treated with an intravitreal injection of 4 mg (n=12 eyes), 8 mg (n=17) or 25 mg (n=15) of triamcinolone acetonide (TA). Optical coherence tomography, best-corrected logMAR visual acuity ...

macular edema following diabetic retinopathy is one of the ocular complications associated with diabetes, and it is the leading cause of visual loss in the active young and middle aged population in developed countries. while all patients with diabetes particularly those with diabetic retinopathy are at increased risk of developing eye complications, early detection and timely intervention may ...

Purpose: To assess the association between the features of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescein angiography (FA) in clinically significant diabetic macular edema. Materials and Methods: It was an observational, cross-sectional study conducted at Upgraded Department of Ophthalmology, S.M.S Hospital and Medical College, Jaipur. It involved 181 eyes (100 patients) with clinically sig...
