Brief Summary:
To measure various pro-permeability factors in the aqueous humor of patients with persistent/recurrent diabetic macular edema
Detailed Description:
Patients with Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) are increasingly being treated with molecules targeting vascular endothelial factor (VEGF). One potential advantage of a dexamethasone implant over specific VEGF antagonists is that steroids suppress production of multiple pro-permeability factors.
Our primary objective is to measure the pro-permeability factors in the aqueous humor of patients with persistent/recurrent macular edema despite prior treatment with anti-VEGF agents at baseline and at 1, 2, 3, and 4 months after intraocular injection of a dexamethasone implant.
