BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate nepafenac ophthalmic suspension 0.1% (Nevanac(®); Alcon Research Ltd) in the prevention of macular edema following cataract surgery in diabetic retinopathy patients. METHODS This was a multicenter, randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled study of 263 adult diabetic patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy requiring cataract...

background: diabetes is a common metabolic disorder leading to the development of many complications, among which diabetic retinopathy and macular edema are the most significant. these complications can contribute to blindness if not diagnosed or treated properly, and several studies have been conducted to evaluate the methods for the prevention or slowing down their progression. therefore, ser...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare microperimetry and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) after subthreshold micropulse diode laser versus modified Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study photocoagulation for clinically significant diabetic macular edema. METHODS A prospective randomized clinical trial including 62 eyes (50 patients) with untreated, center-involving, c...

Introduction: Because of bilateral involvement in many cases with diabetic macular edema, Intravitreal bevacizumab injection perform in both eyes. There are some reports of therapeutic effects in the fellow eye after monocular injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factors. In this study we describe a case of bilateral improvement of diabetic macular edema following unil...

purpose: to evaluate the effectiveness of pars plana vitrectomy and posterior hyaloid stripping in decreasing macular thickness and improving vision in diabetic macular edema.          methods: this prospective interventional case series includes 30 eyes of 25 diabetic patients with diabetic macular edema with macular thickness exceeding 170 microns and thickened posterior hyaloid. bcva and mac...

Macular edema is the leading cause of blindness in diabetic patients. Laser photocoagulation has been the standard therapy for several decades. Recently, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been implicated as an important factor in the occurrence of vascular permeability in this disease. Thus, anti-VEGF therapy has been used to treat this condition. The paper under evaluation offers t...
