Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of intravitreal injection of the combination of Triamcinolone Acetonide and Bevacizumab in patients with diabetic macular edema.Materials and Methods: Twenty seven eyes of 17 patients with diabetic macular edema were treated with an intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (2 mg) combined with bevacizumab (1.25 mg).Results: During the 6 months follow-up period 24 eyes (89%) had to repeat the treatment according to the monthly follow-up examination.The mean visual acuity and the central macular thickness improved significantly (P<0.05) throughout the follow-up period.Conclusion: Intravitreal combination of Triamcinolone Acetonide and Bevacizumab seems to be effective in improving visual acuity and macular edema in patients with diabetic maculopathy.
