PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of switching from bevacizumab to ranibizumab (Lucentis; Genentech, South San Francisco, CA) or aflibercept (Eylea; Regeneron, Tarrytown, NY) in eyes with diabetic macular edema (DME) nonresponders to bevacizumab (Avastin; Genentech, South San Francisco, CA).
METHODS: Single-center retrospective comparative study of patients with DME unresponsive to intravitreal bevacizumab that were switched to ranibizumab or aflibercept. Best-corrected visual acuity and central foveal thickness will be analysed prior to and 3 months after the switch. OCT biomarkers will also analyzed.
A p value of 0.05 or less will be considered to be statistically significant. HYPOTHESIS: Patients will improve anatomically and functionally after switch.

The central foveal thickness (CFT), measured by Optical Coherence Tomography, was automatically measured by the software in the central 1 mm. A CFT <250 µm or >300 µm is considered pathological. A CFT between 200 and 300 µm is considered physiological. CFT has no defined minimum or maximum values.
Since patients with diabetic macular edema usually have CFT >300 µm the goal of treatment is to lower the CFT to values between 200 and 300 µm. A clinical significant anatomical improvement was considered for a change in CFT≥10%.
Functional change was measure by the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Scale (ETDRS) which measures the best-corrected visual acuity with an ETDRS-like chart at 4 meters in number letters or at 1 meter when patients are unable to read any letters on the ETDRS chart at 4 meters. The ETDRS scale varies from 1 to 85 letters (85 letters correspond to a 20/20 in the Snellen scale).
The higher the value the better the outcome. A clinical significant functional improvement was considered for a gain of ≥5 EDTRS letters.
