Aflibercept, Bevacizumab, or Ranibizumab for Diabetic Macular Edema
Intravitreous aflibercept, bevacizumab, or ranibizumab improved vision in eyes with center-involved diabetic macular edema, but the relative effect depended on baseline visual acuity. When the initial visual-acuity loss was mild, there were no apparent differences, on average, among study groups. At worse levels of initial visual acuity, aflibercept was more effective at improving vision (NEJM)
FDA approves new treatment for diabetic retinopathy in patients with diabetic macular edema
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration expand the approved use for Eylea (aflibercept) injection to treat diabetic retinopathy in patients with diabetic macular edema
Changes in vision related quality of life in patients with diabetic macular edema: Ranibizumab or laser treatment?
Our study revealed that IVR improved not only visual acuity or CRT, but also vision related quality of life more than laser treatment in DME. And these patient-reported outcomes may play an important role in the treatment choice in DME for clinicians (Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications)
