Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension Diabetic Macular Edema Intravenous Drug Usage Optic Disk Disorders | Procedure: intravitreal dexamethasone implant application |
Diabetic macular edema is the most frequent ocular complication of diabetes resulting in irreversible loss of vision if untreated. Dexamethasone implant implant is used to treat macular edema due to diabetes. It stay in the vitreous for 6 months after intravitreal administration.
Dexamethasone implant can lead to retinal nerve fiber layer and optic nerve damage by both increasing intraocular pressure and its direct effect on neural tissue during the effective 6-month period.
