Differential response to intravitreal dexamethasone implant in naive and previously treated diabetic macular edema eyes.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:To identify different response patterns to intravitreal dexamethasone implants (IDI) in naïve and previously treated (PT) diabetic macular edema (DME) eyes in a real-life setting. METHODS:342 IDI injections (203 DME eyes) were included. Number of IDI injections, percentage (%) of eyes with 1, 2, 3 and???4 injections, time to reinjections, visual acuity (VA), intraocular pressure (IOP) and central retinal thickness (CRT) were evaluated for naïve and PT DME eyes over 24?months. RESULTS:Mean number of injections was significantly lower in naïve vs PT DME eyes (1.40?±?0.9 vs 1.82?±?0.9, p
