Vitrectomized versus non-vitrectomized eyes in diabetic macular edema response to ranibizumab—retinal layers thickness as prognostic biomarkers

Abstract To evaluate the role of the vitreous in the management of diabetic macular edema with ranibizumab intravitreal injections in a pro re nata regimen. Prospective study of 50 consecutive eyes with diabetic macular edema treated with ranibizumab and 12 months of follow-up. Primary endpoint: to...
