DIABETIC CYSTOID MACULAR EDEMA

Eye World, 03/18/09

In a study published in the September 2008 issue of Ophthalmology, results indicate that over a two-year span, for most patients, laser photocoagulation is more effective with fewer side effects than steroid treatment. Also, very few doctors are injecting Avastin for diabetic macular edema because you’d almost have to do it monthly and that’s a pretty hard sell.
