摘要
Diabetic macular edema (DME), characterized by exudative fluid accumulation in the macula, is the most common form of sight-threatening retinopathy in patients with diabetes. The management of DME has changed considerably in recent years, especially following the development of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy which has emerged as a first-line therapy for center-involved DME. Laser treatment, intravitreal steroid therapy, and vitrectomy are also important treatment options for DME. We believe that it is important to choose the most appropriate treatment option for DME based on the clinical evidences, in addition to the careful consideration of individual patients’ general or ocular condition, DME characteristics, patients’ motivation, and compliance to the treatment in real-world clinical practice. In this review, we have summarized important clinical evidences for the main treatments for DME, presented an expert review for these evidences, and proposed a recommended therapeutic flow chart for DME. We hope that our review of the clinical evidences and the recommended therapeutic flow chart for DME will contribute to better treatment outcome for DME.
