Abstract:
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a leading cause of vision loss in diabetic patients.It is very important to correctly select a treating approach for DME.At present,the treating methods of DME include retinal laser photocoagulation,application of the glucocorticoid,intravitreous injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs,administration of inhibitor of protein kinase C,vitrectomy and combined treatment etc.However,each method has its advantage and disadvantage.Retinal photocoagulation,vitrectomy,intravitreous injection and drug delivery system implantation are invasive treatment methods,and they can not rescue damaged retinal photoreceptors.Therefore,it is recommended that DME should be early diagnosed and effective treatment.The research status at home and abroad and future development trends of DME treatment were summarized.
