DİABETİK MAKULA ÖDEMİ

Diabetik retinopati günümüz gelişmiş toplumlarında körlüğün en önemli nedenlerinden biridir. Diabetik retinopatievrelerinin herhangi bir aşamasında diabetik makula ödemi tabloya eşlik edebilir ve diabetik hastalardaki görmeazlığının en temel nedenini oluşturur. Erken tanı ve tedavi ile diabetik makula ödemine bağlı görme kayıplarıazaltılabilmektedir. Bu makalede diabetik makula ödemi hakkında genel bilgiler ile klasik ve güncel tedaviyöntemleri ele alınmıştır.

DIABETIC MACULAR EDEMA

Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most frequent causes of blindness in developed countries. Diabeticmacular edema may associate with any stage of diabetic retinopathy and is the main cause of visualimpairment in diabetic patients. Visual loss due to diabetic macular edema may be decreased withearly diagnosis and treatment. Basic knowledge about diabetic macular edema and, standard andcurrent treatment modalities was discussed in this article.
