Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of different treatment methods for proliferative diabetic retinopathy, focusing on visual acuity, macular thickness, and neovascularization.
- Patients were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: standard single-spot panretinal photocoagulation plus intravitreal ranibizumab, multiple-spot full scatter photocoagulation plus the same injection, or intravitreal injection alone.
- Results showed that while visual acuity improved significantly over 48 weeks in all groups, there were no major differences in visual acuity or macular thickness changes between the treatment methods at the end of the study.
