Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Is the use of Lucentis therapy in patients with Diabetic Ischaemic Macular Oedema (DIME) safe? ;Secondary Objective: Is Lucentis therapy effective for patients with DIME as measured by visual function, vision-related quality of life and retinal thickness? ;Primary end point(s): Safety data will be gathered on the use of Lucentis therapy in patients with DIME by assessing: 1.Macular perfusion (FAZ greatest linear dimension (GLD) and degree of perifoveal capillary loss) 2.Retinal sensitivity (visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and microperimetry). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Each subject will be followed up to 12 months. This end points will be evaluated at 12 months.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): •Is Lucentis therapy effective for patients with DIME as measured by visual function (BCVA, contrast sensitivity, reading speed), vision-related quality of life and retinal thickness (OCT)? ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Each subject will be followed up to 12 months. These secondary end points will be evaluated at 12 months.
