Popis: Purpose: To determine the efficacy and safety of intravitreal triamcinolone in chronic diffuse diabetic macular oedema. Methods: This prospective, interventional consecutive case series study consisted of 59 eyes (36 patients) with chronic diffuse diabetic macular oedema, which received an intravitreal injection of 4 mg triamcinolone acetonide. The results were evaluated by clinical examination and fluorescein angiography. Potential complications such as a rise in intraocular pressure, cataract progression and endophthalmitis were recorded. Results: All patients completed at least 6 months follow up. The mean visual acuity improved significantly from 0.17 ± 3.4 to a maximum of 0.30 ± 3.3 at the third postinjection month (P
