  Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of the posterior subtenon (SBT) capsule injection of TA as compared to intravitreal (IVT) injection of Triamcinolone Acetonide (TA) for the management of cystoid diabetic macular edema in pseudophakic patients. Methods: This prospective randomized comparative study included 100 pseudophakic eyes with cystoid macular edema. They were divided into two equal groups; IVT group, treated with 2 mg IVT injection of TA and SBT group, treated with 40 mg SBT injection of TA. Central Subfield thickness SFT, best corrected visual acuity BCVA and intraocular pressure IOP were measured before and after one and three months of treatment Results: There was statistically significant improvement in visual acuity in IVT and SBT groups. The SFT was significantly reduced both after one month and after three months when compared to the baseline values in both IVT and SB.. View More»
