Micropulse laser therapy of cystoid macular edema Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a typical microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). The most common manifestation of DR that reduces vision is diabetic macular edema (DME). The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of DME therapy using subthreshold micropulse laser (SMPL) with a wavelength of 577 nm. Cohort and methods: The cohort with a monitoring period of 1 year included the total number of 167 eyes of 111 patients with DME. The cohort with a monitoring period of 3 years included the total number of 70 eyes of 47 patients. The cohort with a monitoring period of 5 years included the total number of 52 eyes of 34 patients. None of the patients met the reimbursement criteria for DME treatment with intravitreal administration of anti-VEGF or did not wish to undergo that treatment. All the eyes underwent treatment of the retina outside the macula with a standard laser pulse therapy. The treatment depended on the type of DR. On the day of being included in the study, DME therapy using SMPL. Subsequent check-ups were followed every 3 months in the first year of the treatment, and every 4 to 6 months in the following years. The laser treatment of the retina was repeated during the check-ups as needed. The treatment...
