Aim: To assess the effect of Intravitreal Injection (IVI) of Ranibizumab on Central Choroidal Thickness (CCT) using
Enhanced Depth Imaging Optical Coherence Tomography (EDI-OCT) and its correlation with Central Macular Thickness
(CMT) and Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) in eyes with center involving diabetic macular edema.
Materials and methods: Prospective interventional study including 60 eyes with center involving diabetic macular edema which will receive three consecutive monthly IVI of Ranibizumab.
Results: Baseline CCT decreased from 256 µm-432 µm (Mean 322.1 ± 63.17 SD) to 227 µm-303 µm (Mean 271.6 ± 26.53 SD). Baseline CMT decreased from 401 µm-718 µm (Mean 526.45 ± 99.63 SD) to 248 µm-444 µm (Mean 382.85 ± 119.66 SD). Ba.. View More»
