International Consortium Investigating Early Vitrectomy in Diabetic Macular Edema Patients (ICV-DME)

March 24, 2020 updated by: Michael W. Stewart, M.D., Mayo Clinic

International Consortium Investigating Early Vitrectomy in Diabetic Macular Edema Patients - the ICV-DME Study

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of vitrectomy for the treatment of diabetic macular edema. Diabetes is known to cause retinal blood vessels to leak, leading to swelling of the central retina (macula), and decreased vision. Removing the vitreous gel with vitrectomy surgery is known to decrease the swelling caused by diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy is often treated with laser or injections of medicine in to the eye.
