چکیده

The treatment of the clinically significant macular edema in patients with diabetic maculopathy by the intravitreal administration of corticosteroids and antiangiogenic factors requires rapid and more accurate investigation methods aimed at following up the dynamic evolution of the structural parameters of the retina. The purpose of the study is to compare the outcome of OCT parameters for each group (Group A treated by intravitreal administered triamcinolone acetonide and Group B treated by intravitreal administered triamcinolone acetonide in combination with bevacizumab). Methods involved the selection of cases, dynamic measurements of the retina structures, so that, at the end, the data from the two groups of patients could be compared. The results showed a positive development in the short and medium term in both groups of patients.

Macular edema reflects generalized vascular hyperpermeability in type 2 diabetic patients with retinopathy.

OBJECTIVE Diabetic maculopathy (DMa) is the most prevalent sight-threatening type of retinopathy in type 2 diabetes and a leading cause of visual loss in the western world. The disease is characterized by hyperpermeability of retinal blood vessels and subsequent formation of hard exudates and macular edema, the degree of which can be estimated by measurement of retinal thickness. We examined as...

SDOCT Imaging to Identify Macular Pathology in Patients Diagnosed with Diabetic Maculopathy by a Digital Photographic Retinal Screening Programme

INTRODUCTION Diabetic macular edema (DME) is an important cause of vision loss. England has a national systematic photographic retinal screening programme to identify patients with diabetic eye disease. Grading retinal photographs according to this national protocol identifies surrogate markers for DME. We audited a care pathway using a spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) clini...

Preventing sight loss from maculopathy

When to do macular laser The threshold for macular laser is usually clinically significant macular oedema (CSMO) as defined in the Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS). CSMO is any retinal thickening (oedema) and/or exudates within 500 microns (1⁄3 disc diameter) of the centre of the fovea; or oedema greater than 1 disc area within 1 disc diameter of the foveal centre – includi...

The Diagnostic Function of OCT in Diabetic Maculopathy

Diabetic maculopathy (DM) is one of the major causes of vision impairment in individuals with diabetes. The traditional approach to diagnosis of DM includes fundus ophthalmoscopy and fluorescein angiography. Although very useful clinically, these methods do not contribute much to the evaluation of retinal morphology and its thickness profile. That is why a new technique called optical coherence...
