Abstract :

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of intravitreal triamcinolone in diabetic macular edema. Methods: All diabetic patients presenting to ophthalmology OPD of a tertiary care hospital in Uttarakhand over a period of one year, fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria, were included in the study. Detailed eye examination, pre–injection FFA and OCT was done. Single IVTA injection was given to proven cases of diabetic macular edema and patients were examined for improvement of vision and change in macular thickness, at 6 and 12 weeks interval. Results: Total 30 patients were included. There was increase in BCVA in the study group. There was significant decrease in macular thickness in all three groups at 6 weeks and 12 weeks (p=0.0015). Post injection the macular thickness reduced and BCVA improved, thus proving IVTA to be effective in the treatment of DME. Conclusion: the study showed that triamcinolone acetonide is an effective treatment of DME.
