AIM:To present the outcome of modified grid laser photocoagulation(GLP)in diffuse diabetic macular edema(DDME)in eyes without extrafoveal and/or vitreofoveal traction.METHODS:Inclusion criteria for the retrospective study were DDME eyes of patients with typeⅡdiabetes mellitus that had≥4 months of follow-up following GLP.Only one eye per patient was analyzed.Using 3-D spectral-domain optical coherence tomography(3-D SDOCT),eyes that had either extrafoveal or vitreofoveal traction,or had been previously treated by an intravitreal medication(s)were excluded.Treated DDME eyes were divided into 4 groups:A)“Classic”DDME that involved the central macula;B)edema did not involve the macular center;C)eyes associated with central epiretinal membrane(ERM);D)DDME that was associated with macular capillary dropout≥2 disc-diameter(DD).RESULTS:GLP outcome in 35 DDME eyes after 4-24(mean,13.1±6.9)months was as follows:Group A)18eyes with“classic”DDME.Following one or 2(mean,1.2)GLP treatments,best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA)improved by 1-2 Snellen lines in 44.4%(8/18)of eyes,and worsened by 1 line in 11.1%(2/18).Central macular thickness(CMT)improved by 7%-49%(mean,26.6%)in77.8%(14/18)of eyes.Causes of CMT worsening(n=4)were commonly explainable,predominantly(n=3)associated with emergence of extrafoveal traction,5-9months post-GLP.Group B)GLP(s)in DDME that did not involve the macular center(n=6)resulted in improved BCVA by 1-2 lines in 2 eyes.However,the central macula became involved in the edema process after the GLP in 3(50%)eyes,associated with an emergence of extrafoveal traction in one of these eyes 4months following the GLP.Group C)GLP failed in all 5eyes associated with central ERM.Group D)GLP was of partial benefit in 2 of 6 treated eyes with macular capillary dropout≥2DD.CONCLUSION:Eyes with DDME that involved the macular center were found to achieve favourable outcomes after GLP(s)during mid-term follow-up,unless complicated pre-GLP or post-GLP by vltreoretinal interface abnormalities,often extrafoveal traction or ERM,or by capillary dropout≥2DD.Prospective studies with larger cohorts are required.
AIM: To present the outcome of modified grid laser photocoagulation (GLP) in diffuse diabetic macular edema (DDME) in eyes without extrafoveal and / or vitreofoveal traction. METHODS: Inclusion criteria for the retrospective study were DDME eyes of patients with type II diabetes mellitus that had ≥4 months of follow-up following GLP. One eye per patient was previously analyzed. Using 3-D spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (3-D SDOCT), eyes that had either extrafoveal or vitreofoveal traction, or had been previously treated by an intravitreal (s) were excluded. Tred DDME eyes were divided into 4 groups: A) “Classic” DDME that involved the central macula; B) edema did not involve the macular center; C) eyes associated with central epiretinal membrane (ERM); D) DDME that was associated with macular capillary dropout≥2 disc-diameter (DD) .RESULTS: GLP outcome in 35 DDME eyes after 4-24 (mean, 13.1 ± 6.9) months was as follows: Group A) 18eyes with “classic ” DDME. Popular one or 2 (mean, 1.2) GLP treatment , best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved by 1-2 Snellen lines in 44.4% (8/18) of eyes, and worsened by 1 line in 11.1% (2/18) .Central macular thickness (CMT) improved by (14 = 18) of eyes. Caps of CMT worsening (n = 4) were commonly explainable, predominantly (n = 3) associated with emergence of extrafoveal traction, 5 -9months post-GLP.Group B) GLP (s) in DDME that did not involve the macular center (n = 6) resulted in improved BCVA by 1-2 lines in 2 eyes. However, the central macula became involved in the edema process after the GLP in 3 (50%) eyes, associated with an emergence of extrafoveal traction in one of these eyes 4months following the GLP. Group C) GLP failed in all 5eyes associated with central ERM. Group D) GLP was of partial benefit in 2 of 6 treated eyes with macular capillary dropout ≥ 2DD. CONCLUSION: Eyes with DDME that involved the macular center were found to achieve favourable outcomes after GLP (s) during mid-term follow-up, unless complicated pre-GLP or post- GLP by vltreore tinal interface abnormalities, often extrafoveal traction or ERM, or by capillary dropout≥2DD. Prospective studies with larger cohorts are required.
