Maging of DME in vitrectomized eyes

Imaging modalities have greatly improved our recognition and understanding of the pathophysiology of diabetic macular edema. Fluorescein angiogram have shown vascular leakage in the presence of macular edema. It permits early detection of intraretinal morphological changes, hemodynamic and inflammatory modifications. Macular perfusion is nicely identified by this exam. Furthermore, OCT have greatly improved the detection of intraretinal fluid, anatomical changes in all retinal layers. It offers comprehensive analysis of the vitreoretinal interface. Quantitative, non invasive and non mydriatic procedure may be performed. Additional recent developments in imaging systems will be discussed.
