| Summary: | Objectives: To evaluate the agreement of macular edema features between FFA and HRT, and also to
evaluate the visual function, macular edema index and quality of life between pre and post laser photocoagulation in diabetic macular edema.
Methodology: Sixty-seven patients were subjected to HRT, FFA (served as the gold standard) and laser
photocoagulation. The visual function, macular edema index and quality of life measurements were done at
baseline and three months post laser photocoagulation.
Results: Topographic edema map of HRT has better sensitivity and specificity compare with other modules.
There is a good agreement between topographic edema map and macular edema index (MEI) thickness map.
There were improvement in visual function, macular edema index, and quality of life at 3 months post laser
photocogulation.
Conclusion: Topographic edema map of HRT has better sensitivity compared with other modules. Good
agreement exists between topographic edema map and MEI thickness map. The visual function, macular
edema index and quality of life were improved post laser photocoagulation. |
