Intravitreal ranibizumab injections as a treatment of diabetic macular edema
Main Article Content
Abstract
Diabetic macular edema is a main cause of visual impairment in diabetic patients. Its pathogenesis seems to be multifactorial. Several therapeutic options have been accepted for the treatment of this disease. In this publication we present the newest results of efficacy of intravitreal ranibizumab therapy, as a one, that have revolutionised diabetic macular edema management.
