Although the number of patients and length of follow-up in this preliminary study were limited, the changes in central macular thickness and visual acuity observed after treatment suggest that IVI TA may be more effective than STi for the management of refractory diffuse diabetic macular edema. Further studies are needed to confirm these preliminary findings.

ACP prevents IOP elevation after IVBI, whereas ACZ and BT caused a faster return to baseline than untreated nonglaucomatous eyes. Further studies with larger number of subjects, including glaucomatous patients, and the use of other topical glaucoma medications are warranted to establish a standard recommendation.

Following a single intravitreal injection, the median concentration of triamcinolone acetonide is significantly higher in the TA-BA compared to the TA-PF group at 7 days post-injection. No toxic reactions in the retina were observed in either group.
