Abstract

Cross-sectional study
Purpose:To determine the prevalence of SD-OCT biomarkers in diabetic macular edema.To correlate the presence of SD-OCT biomarkers with central macular thickness and visual acuity
Methods:All patients with diabetic macular edema in the age group above 18 years satisfying inclusion criteria were included in the study.OCT biomarkers in diabetic macular edema were noted
Results:According to the study of 86 eyes, intraretinal cystoid fluid was found to be the most prevalent biomarker.Presence of intra-retinal cystoid fluid and vitreomacular interface abnormalities were found to significantly correlate with central macular thickness.However they did not correlate with visual acuity
Conclusion:Intra-retinal cystoid fluid was the most common SD-OCT biomarker in diabetic macular edema but they did not correlate with poor visual acuity.IRCF and vitreomacular interface abnormalities correlated with increased central macular thickness but not with poor visual acuity.
