Cochrane reviews
- Steroids placed inside the eye by either intravitreal injection or surgical implantation improve visual outcomes in eyes with persistent or refractory diabetic macular edema. Elevation of intraocular pressure and cataract progression occur in treated eyes and require monitoring and management .
- There is insufficient evidence on the use of either single or multiple anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) intravitreal injections to treat diabetic macular oedema .
- Preoperative use of bevacizumab in diabetic vitrectomy may reduce the incidence of early postoperative vitreous cavity haemorrhage .
