Study aim
-
Determination and comparison of macular thickness changes in IVB and IVB/IVT injections
Determining and comparing changes in visual acuity in IVB and IVB/IVT injections
-
Design
-
Clinical trialClinical trial with two intervention groups, double-blind, randomized with STATA software
-
Settings and conduct
-
Eye examinations including BCVA, Goldman tonometry, indirect dilation ophthalmoscopy, lens opacity grading, diabetic retinopathy grading based on ETDRS will be performed. Group I, 0.05 mL (1.25 mg) bevacizumab injection 3 doses per month. In the second intervention group, 0.025 mL (1 mg) of laboratory triamcinolone acetone will be added to the first IVB injection with an aspartate syringe. Patients will be examined on days 1 and 7 after the operation in terms of anterior chamber reaction and intraocular pressure measurement. Ophthalmological examination and OCT will be done again in 4, 8 and 12 weeks.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Inclusion criteria: patients with clinically significant DME based on ETDRS criteria and central thickness greater than 500 microns.
Exit criteria
History of previous DME treatment (focal or panretinal laser coagulation or IVB or IVT),
eye surgery,
glaucoma or ocular hypertension,
monocular vision, pregnancy,
Significant media opacity, CMT<500,
The patient's absence in follow-up in the following weeks
-
Intervention groups
-
In the first intervention group, 0.05 ml (1.25 mg) of bevacizumab will be randomly injected invitro 3 times a month. In the second intervention group, 0.025 ml (1 mg) of in vitro triamcinoloneacetone will be added to the first IVB injection with a separate syringe.
-
Main outcome variables
-
The primary outcome will be change in BCVA based on logMAR at week 12 relative to baseline,the secondary outcome will include a change in CMT at weeks 4, 8,12.
