Purpose:
|
To report results of subthreshold micropulse laser therapy for DME.
|
|
Methods:
|
Diabetic patients with foveal or juxtafoveal mild DME were treated with subthreshold micropulse yellow MPC (MMPC). Extrafoveal DME was treated by standard MPC. Macular thickness (MT) in the area of MMPC was calculated as the mean of thicknesses of areas having edema on ETDRS grid over macular OCT.

|
Results:
|
48 eyes were treated, 15 had adequate documentation to be included in the study. 8 eyes underwent combined MMPC/MPC. Eyes were followed from 4 to 19 months (8.33±4). 8 eyes experienced reduction of MT and 4 needed IVB during F/U.
The eyes in MMPC and combined group had similar F/U times (p=0.73), number of cases experiencing reduction in MT (p=0.423), and eyes treated by IVB (p=1.0).
Reduction in MT did not depend on the number (p=0.418) and power (p=0.188) of MMPC spots, initial CMT (p=599) and MT in the area of MMPC(p=0.870)
Eyes that needed IVB had similar initial CMT and MT in area of MMPC to others, but underwent MPC with higher energy (p=0.05) and greater number of MMPC spots (p=0.04)

|
Conclusion:
|
MMPC seems to be effective in cases with mild DME. Undertreatment due to cataract may be a factor for non-response.
