diabetic macular edema

Diabetic macular edema (DME) is characterized by retinal thickening and fluid accumulation in the macula, often leading to vision loss. Fluorescein angiography (FA) is crucial for evaluating DME, as it reveals areas of capillary leakage, microaneurysms, and zones of ischemia. This imaging helps to assess the extent of vascular damage, guiding treatment with options like anti-VEGF injections and laser therapy.

Diabetic macular edema (DME) with longstanding subretinal fluid (SRF) can lead to hyperautofluorescence on fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging. This hyperautofluorescence indicates chronic damage and accumulation of lipofuscin in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). It is a potential biomarker of worse prognosis, as it suggests persistent retinal stress and damage.

Diabetic retinopathy is characterized by increased vascular permeability, leading to leakage of blood and fluid into the retina. Fluorescein angiography (FA) is used to assess this permeability, revealing areas of leakage, microaneurysms, and also neovascularization. FA helps in evaluating the extent of retinal damage and guiding treatment decisions.

Telangiectatic capillaries (TelCap) can contribute to persistent diabetic macular edema (DME). En-face imaging helps identify these abnormal capillaries, highlighting their distribution and extent. Focal laser photocoagulation is used to target and seal these TelCaps, reducing edema and improving retinal health.

Diabetic macular edema (DME) refractory to intravitreal treatment, sometimes exacerbated by the presence of an epiretinal membrane (ERM), can significantly impair visual acuity. Standard treatments, such as anti-VEGF or corticosteroids, may be insufficient. However, vitrectomy with ERM peeling has been shown to improve visual and anatomical outcomes in these cases by relieving traction on the macula and enhancing fluid absorption.
