Many recent clinical studies show that intravitreal injection of the corticosteroid Triamcinolone Acetonide (TAA) reduce edematous retinal swelling and improve visual acuity in patients with DME. The objective of our prospective comparative study, which included 30 eyes randomized into two groups, was to assess the efficacy and safety of the posterior subtenon injection of Triamcinolone Acetonide as compared to intravitreal injection for the treatment of diabetic macular edema. The results showed similar improvements in visual acuity and significant decrease in central macular thickness (CMT) in both groups throughout the 3 months follow up period. However the IOP in the intravitreal injection group was significantly higher than in the posterior subtenon injection group at 1 and 3 months after injection UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
