Optical Coherence Tomographic Patterns in Diabetic Macula Edema Can Predict the Effects of Intravitreal Bevacizumab Injection as Primary Treatment

Abstract

Patients with CME gained greater improvement in visual acuity and macular thickness and volume after IVB injection had been administered as the primary treatment for DME, as compared with other patients. The OCT patterns of DME may indicate the appropriate treatment; we consider these patterns to be prognostic of the response to IVB injection for macular edema.
