Aflibercept Plus Micropulse Laser Versus Aflibercept Monotherapy for Diabetic Macular Edema
Aflibercept Plus Micropulse Laser Versus Aflibercept Monotherapy for Diabetic Macular Edema. One Year Results of a Randomized Clinical Trial
Purpose: To evaluate the role of adjuvent micropulse laser with Aflibercept injections in the management of treatment naïve centre involving DME, looking at decreased treatment burden and increased efficacy as outcomes.
Methods: This was a prospective, single centre, randomized trial that included 40 eyes (40 patients) with previously untreated centre involved DME. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either Aflibercept plus micropulse laser (group A) or Aflibercept monotherapy (group B).

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- patients were older than 18 with the clinical diagnosis of previously untreated centre involved DME documented by fluorescein angiography and central macular thickness (CMT) ≥ 300 µm on the spectral-domain OCT Best corrected visual acuity was better than 3/60 with Hb A1C less than 10%.
Exclusion Criteria:

Micropulse session details: Mainster focal grid contact lens (×1.05 laser magnification) was used to perform laser. The 577-nm yellow laser (OcuLight SLx, Iridex Corp., Mountain View, California, USA) was used. Fixed treatment parameters were used in all cases: 200-μm spot size, 200-ms exposure duration, 400-mW power, and a 5% duty cycle. Confluent applications with no spacing were administered using 5x5 grid pattern over the entire edematous area including the fovea. |
Active Comparator: Aflibercept monotherapy (group B)
Overall 40 patients were included in the study; they were randomized into either group A (Aflibercept + Micropulse; 20 patients) or group B (Aflibercept monotherapy; 20 patients).
