Diabetic Macular Edema

Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) is a complication of diabetes that affects the macula, the part of the eye responsible for detailed vision. It occurs when excess fluid builds up in the macula, leading to vision problems. Early detection and regular monitoring by an eye care doctor are important for effective treatment. There are several treatment options available, and recent advancements in intravitreal injection and anti-vascular growth factor therapy have significantly improved outcomes for people with DME.
