Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria: patients of either gender aged more than18 years; diabetes mellitus (type 1 or 2); best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the study eye between 35 and 69 ETDRS letters at 4 m (Snellen equivalent 1/10-5/10); central foveal thickness more than 270 micrometer; media clarity, pupillary dilation, and subject cooperation sufficient for adequate fundus imaging; intraocular pressure (IOP )less than 21 mmHg; ability to return for regular study visits; fellow eye has vissual acuity more than 20/400; fellow eye has received no antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment within the past 3 months and diffuse diabetic macular edema based on fluorescein angiography. Exclusion criteria(ocular criteria were applied to the study eye only): macular ischemia (foveal avascular zone [FAZ] more than1000 micrometer or severe perifoveal intercapillary loss on fluorescein angiography); macular edema due to a cause other than diabetic maculopathy; coexistent ocular disease: a preexisting ocular condition that was likely to preclude vissual acuity improvement despite resolution of macular edema ( foveal atrophy, amblyopia, retinal vascular occlusion, neovascular glaucoma, ...); proliferative diabetic retinopathy more than one disc in area in peripheral retina with or without vitreous hemorrhage and history of intraoccular surgery like as cataract sugery or vitrectomy.
