Study Summary

Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most common complications of diabetes and diabetic macular edema (DME) is one of the most common causes of vision loss in diabetes. The purpose of this study is to determine if early intervention with micropulse laser treatment in eyes with good visual acuity (20/32 or better) will improve or stabilize vision loss due to the complications of diabetic macular edema.

Primary Outcome

BCVA measured using ETDRS testing. The study endpoint was reached if the study patient experienced vision loss of ≥10 letters (≥2 lines) at any visit or 5-9 letters (1-2 lines) at 2 consecutive visits ≤28 days apart, based on the criteria for initiating anti-VEGF therapy as defined in the DRCR Protocol V study.

Interventions
