Study Summary

Currently medications injected intravitreally in previously vitrectomized eyes have a very short half-life due to enhanced clearance of the drug. The use of the Ozurdex (dexamethasone) implant may allow sustained levels of steroid delivery to patients with diabetic macular edema that have undergone prior vitrectomy. The sustained steroid levels may lead to improved central retinal thickness measurements and improved visual acuity.

Primary Outcome

Measured visual acuity gain in number of letters improved as a result of treatment

Interventions
