Objective To investigate the efficacy of intravitreal injection of Ozurdex® in the treatment of refractory diabetic macular edema (DME) with different optical coherence tomography (OCT) patterns. Methods A total of 38 patients (41 eyes) who underwent fundus examination and were diagnosed with refractory DME in Department of Ophthalmology in our hospital from June 2018 to June 2020 were enrolled in this study, and according to the OCT pattern, they were divided into diffuse retinal thickening (DRT) group, cystoid macular edema (CME) group, and serous retinal detachment (SRD) group. Intravitreal injection of Ozurdex® was performed for all diseased eyes as needed, and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and OCT measurements were performed before treatment and at 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment. The three groups were compared in terms of BCVA, central foveal thickness (CFT), the integrity of external limiting membrane, ellipsoid zone integrity, and the number of hyperreflective dots (HRDs) before and after treatment. Results All three groups had a significant improvement in BCVA at 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment (Fintra-group=15.334-42.187,P0.05), and at 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment, there was a significant change in the proportion of diseased eyes with different numbers of HRDs (H=23.645-39.117,P |
