Diabetic Macula Edema
- ETDRS- Repeated macular laser for focal/diffuse DME may do more damage to the vision
- Diffuse DME is much less responsive to laser than focal DME
I. DME: Intravitreal Triamcinolone (IVTA)Intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide for diabetic macular edema: A prospective randomized study. Jonas JB et al. J Ocul Pharmacol Ther. 2006; 22.
Unilateral 20 mg IVTA injection in bilateral DME. 33 casesVA improvement by 3 lines: 39% in the IVTA (20mg) eyes vs. 0% in the control eyes at 6 months.Big dose
Effect lasts approximately 7-8 mthsIIOP ~52%
I. DME : Avastin - persistent DME

DME
- Focal DME with microaneurysms --> focal laser
- Diffuse DME which do not response to grid laser --> IVTA or antiVEGF
- DME with vitreous traction --> PPV/ combination
DME : diffuse type
- Predicting factors- Younger age- Lower degree of maculr ischemia- Better pre-injection VA- Shorter duration of ME- Thicker CRT
In which eyes?I. Diabetic macular edema
