Abstract
The authors are commenting The authors are commenting the article entitled “Guidelines on diabetic eye care. The International Council of Ophthalmology recommendations for screening, follow-up, referral, and treatment based on resource settings” published by Wong et al. in Ophthalmology; https://doi. org.10.1016/j.ophtha. 2018.04.007. Published online: May 15, 2018. The conclusion resulting from this article is that regardless of the intravitreal pharmacotherapy chosen, namely, specific (bevacizumab, ranibizumab or aflibercept) or nonspecific (corticosteroid implant) anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents, the efficacy of the treatment depends primarily on the promptness of the therapy after diabetic macular edema diagnosis. Both groups of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor substances provide similar rates of vision improvement, but with superior anatomic outcomes and fewer injections in the corticosteroid implant-treated eyes. However, more patients receiving the corticosteroid implant lose vision mainly due to cataract.
