Abstract:
AIM: To investigate the ocular surface changes of diffuse diabetic macular edema(DDME)treated by intravitreal injection of Conbercept.
METHODS: Twenty patients(20 eyes, right eyes)diagnosed as DDME and requiring vitreous injection of conbercept in the Department of Ophthalmology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from January 2019 to June 2019, were selected as experiment group. Experiment goup was treated with three vitreous injections of Conbercept. The left eyes of the patients without macular edema were treated as control group without any treatment. Before operation and on the first day after operation, we used corrected visual acuity, superficial punctate epithelial erosion(SPEE), lacrimal river height, intraocular pressure, symptom and sign scores, Schirmer I test(S I t)and corneal fluorescein staining(CSF)to estimate eyes.
RESULTS: Before treatment, there was no difference in intraocular pressure, the height of lacrimal river, OSDI score, S I t, CSF score between the two groups(P>0.05), and there was no superficial punctate epithelial erosion in both groups, but the corrected visual acuity of the control group was significantly better than that of the experimental group(0.50±0.20 vs 1.65±0.35, P<0.05). After treatment, the corrected visual acuity, lacrimal river height and S I t in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group, OSDI and CSF scores were significantly higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05), and the intraocular pressure increased more significantly than that in the control group, but there was no difference between the two groups(P>0.05). Compared with before treatment, the corrected visual acuity of the experimental group was significantly improved, the lacrimal river height and S I t were significantly decreased, OSDI and CSF scores were significantly increased(P<0.05), but the intraocular pressure had no significant change(P>0.05); the observation indexes of the control group had no significant changes(P>0.05).
CONCLUSION: Intravitreal injection of conbercept in the treatment of diffuse diabetic macular edema can damage the ocular surface.
