2 ?  Microaneurysms  CWS  Hard exudates  Beading of vessels  IRMA  NVD/NVE  DME- Types 2

3 Definition of DME  Swelling of the retina due to leaking of fluid from blood vessels within the macula in patients with diabetes  Thickening of the basement membrane and a reduction in the number of pericytes are believed to lead to increased permeability and leakage of plasma constituents in the surrounding retina, resulting in retinal edema 3 http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=16569.

5 5 Factors affecting DME  Incidence of DME increases with  elevated levels of HbA1 C  severity of DR  duration of DM  elevated diastolic blood pressure  gender (more frequent in females)  serum lipid levels Klein et al. Ophthalmology 1998; 105: 1801-1815

6 6 Classification of DR  Microaneurysms only  Microaneurysms, hemorrhages, hard exudates, and cotton-wool spots  Venous abnormalities (beading, loops), intraretinal microvascular abnormalities (IRMA), increased hemorrhage, and exudation NPDR (non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy) PDR (proliferative diabetic retinopathy) DME (diabetic macular edema)  Hard exudates, retinal thickening  Neovascularization, vitreous hemorrhage, and traction retinal detachment Mild Severe Yam & Kwok.

14 14 DR and DME: the unmet treatment needs  Despite the use of standard interventions for DR, vision loss as a result of the disease still occurs in many patients 1  Good metabolic and blood-pressure control are often difficult to achieve in clinical practice, and sight-threatening DR still develops 2  Laser treatment is destructive and cannot restore vision loss that has already occurred; it therefore cannot be regarded as an ideal treatment, and there is a need for better-tolerated and less-destructive therapies 3 1 Comer & Ciulla.

79 Discussion 79

80 80 Intravitreal Ranibizumab Summary  Intravitreal ranibizumab with prompt or deferred (≥24 weeks) focal/grid laser had superior VA and OCT outcomes compared with focal/grid laser treatment alone. ~50% of eyes had substantial improvement (≥10 letters) while ~30% gained ≥15 letters Results were similar whether focal/grid laser was given starting with the first injection or it was deferred >24 weeks 80

81 81 Intravitreal Ranibizumab Summary  If ranibizumab is to be given as it was in this study, the data indicate a need to follow eyes continuously undergoing this treatment Additional ranibizumab and/or laser were needed in most eyes through ≥2 years, even if ‘success’ criteria were met early in the course of treatment. 81

82 82 Intravitreal Triamcinolone Summary  Intravitreal triamcinolone combined with focal/grid laser did not result in superior VA outcomes compared with laser alone.  Intravitreal triamcinolone did result in a greater reduction in retinal thickening at 1 year but not 2 years compared with laser alone.  In an analysis limited to pseudophakic eyes, the triamcinolone group’s outcome for VA appeared to be of similar magnitude to that of the 2 ranibizum ab groups. 82

83 83 Intravitreal Triamcinolone Conclusion  In pseudophakic eyes, intravitreal triamcinolone with prompt focal/grid laser may be equally effective as ranibizumab at improving visual acuity and reducing retinal thickening, but is associated with an increased risk of intraocular pressure elevation. 83
