lüll Intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide for diabetic macular edema: principles and practice Vedantham V; Kim RIndian J Ophthalmol 2006[Jun]; 54 (2): 133-7Diabetic retinopathy is fast emerging as a leading cause of newly diagnosed legal blindness amongst the working population. Macular edema, as it is commoner, accounts for more vision impairment than neovascular proliferation in diabetic patients. Laser photocoagulation, which is the standard treatment of macular edema, is associated with significant complications and an improvement in visual acuity is unsatisfactory. Intravitreal injection of corticosteroids (especially triamcinolone acetonide) is an emerging treatment modality in the management of diabetic macular edema.
