Dr. Anushree Gupta

Abstract :

Diabetic maculopathy is an important cause of severe vision loss in diabetic patients. Different modalities of treatment are available Laser phocoagulation being no longer preferred and anti– vascular endothelial growth factor therapy may not be financially feasible option for the general masses. Steroids are a good and affordable treatment option in selected cases of diabetic macular edema. Here, we report a case in which posterior subtenon injection of triamcinolone was given to a patient with DME and improvement in central macular thickness and vision was seen.
