Figures & data
Notes: (A) A 56-year-old male presented with moderate NPDR and center-involving macular edema with plenty of HEX. He underwent 2 intravitreal dexamethasone implantations at baseline and at Month 4. (B) His visual acuity improved from 20/200 to 20/100 at Month 8, with reduction in HEX. Quantitative analysis of HEX showed a reduction from (C) 1.9 mm2 to (D) 1.75 mm2. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography showed a reduction in subfoveal HEX (arrow) and reduction in central macular thickness as can be seen at (E) baseline and (F) Month 8. Retinal sensitivity map shows improvement from (G) baseline to (H) Month 8.
