Vitreous and intraretinal macular changes in diabetic macular edema with and without tractional components.

Diabetic macular edema (DME) is still one of the main causes of visual impairment. Repeated intravitreal injections of ranibizumab are considered the gold standard treatment, but the efficacy in patients with prominent cystic characteristics remains uncertain. In diabetic retinas, the identification of both antero-posterior and, particularly, tangential tractions is crucial to prevent misdiagnosis of tractional and refractory DME, and therefore to prevent poor treatment outcomes.

Optical coherence tomography angiography in myopic choroidal neovascularization after intravitreal ranibizumab.

Purpose:: To describe the optical coherence tomography angiography characteristics of myopic patients with choroidal neovascularization secondary to pathologic myopia during ranibizumab therapy.

Methods:: Nineteen patients were enrolled in this prospective study (13 females, 6 males, mean age 55.25 ± 9.

Deep and superficial OCT angiography changes after macular peeling: idiopathic vs diabetic epiretinal membranes.

Background: To assess changes in deep and superficial perifoveal capillary plexus after macular peeling in idiopathic and diabetic epiretinal membrane (iERM and dERM, respectively).

Methods: Cross-sectional comparative study. We included 40 eyes from 40 patients affected by iERM (20 eyes) and dERM (20 eyes), as well as 34 eyes from 17 healthy, age-matched patients.
