Abstract Objective To investigate the effects of two laser treatment procedures combined, short pulse grid laser (SP) and subthreshold micropulse laser (MP) (the sandwich grid [SWG] technique), plus intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) on central subfield thickness (CSFT), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and macular sensitivity in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). Methods Forty-five eyes (of 33 patients) with center-involving DME were treated with the SWG laser technique plus IVR and followed for 12 months. Laser treatment was performed at baseline: SP laser spots were placed in a grid pattern in the macular area (500 µm from the fovea) according to the extension of DME; subsequently, MP laser was delivered up to the edge of the fovea. MP laser re-treatment sessions could be performed every 3 months if DME was present and CSFT was ≥ 300 μm on SD-OCT. IVR injection was performed at baseline and repeated monthly if CSFT > 300µm. Preoperatively and monthly, ophthalmological examination was performed including measurements of BCVA, CSFT, and macular sensitivity. Results One-year follow-up data is available for 37 eyes of 27 patients. Mean ± SE CSFT (µm) was 509.36 ± 25.14 and 325.76 ± 15.34 at baseline and 12 months, respectively. A significant reduction in mean CSFT was observed at all study visits compared to baseline (p |
