Study summary

It will investigate a novel treatment approach for diabetic macular edema (DME), which causes vision impairment in diabetic patients. It will focuse on the efficacy and safety of administering triamcinolone acetonide via suprachoroidal injection, targeting the space between the sclera and choroid.

Read the detailed description

This method aims to enhance drug delivery to the retina, potentially improving outcomes compared to conventional treatments. Participants receive suprachoroidal injections, and the study measures changes in macular thickness and visual acuity. The study's findings could offer a promising alternative to existing DME treatments, aiming to provide better management of the condition and improved patient quality of life.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Visual Acuity Testing

    Visual acuity testing evaluates the participants' ability to discern letters or symbols at a standardized distance, providing a measure of vision clarity. This tool helps determine the functional improvement in vision.

    Time frame: 12 Months

  2. Optical Coherence Tomography

    OCT is employed to assess changes in macular thickness, providing detailed cross-sectional images of the retina. This non-invasive imaging technique helps quantify the extent of macular edema and monitoring

    Time frame: 12 months
