“…This means that patients with secondary ERM showed a smaller decrease of CMT after intravitreal injection than before ERM formation, and the effect of intravitreal injection was reduced after ERM formation. This supported the previous report that ERM may act as a physical barrier and decrease drug penetration 10 .…”

Demographics of patient. One hundred thirty-four patients were initially enrolled, but 39 patients were excluded. Thus, a total of 95 patients (147 eyes) were enrolled in this study. The demographic and clinical characteristics of all patients are summarized in Table 1. Among the 95 patients (147 eyes), 46 were male, and 49 were female. The mean age of all patients was 59.7 ± 12.7 years, and the duration of diabetes mellitus was 15.3 ± 8.6 years. Thirty-five patients had hypertension,

“…The simultaneous presence of ERM and diabetic macular edema may affect the therapeutic role of anti-VEGF agents on DME. To date, only very few studies have focused on effect of epiretinal membrane on outcomes of intravitreal anti-VEGFs for treating DME and results of these studies are not consistent [ 10 , 11 ]. Also, none of them has been specifically studied the effect of Bevacizumab.…”

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injection on central macular thickness (CMT) in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) associated with epiretinal membrane (ERM) and compare the results to those with DME without ERM.Methods: 54 eyes of 54 patients with DME were included in this prospective comparative case series. Twenty-eight patients had ERM. All patients received 2.5 mg/ 0.1 ml IVB. The primary outcome measure was the change in central macular thickness (CMT) and the secondary outcome measure was the change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), one month after the IVB injection.Results: All the patients completed 1-month follow-up. One month after the IVB injection, there was no statistically significant reduction in terms of CMT for the ERM group (22.64 ± 70.1 μm; P = 0.099), unlike eyes with DME alone (60.34 ± 88.5 µm; P = 0.002). Patients with ERM had a -0.09 ± 0.14 log MAR improvement in their BCVA (P =0.001) vs. 0.03 ± Log MAR change in the patients who did not have ERM (P = 0.37).Conclusion: In this study, intravitreal bevacizumab resulted in improvement in BCVA in patients who had DME associated with ERM. However, in patients who only had DME, despite a reduction in CMT, no improvement in BCVA occurred. Future randomized clinical trials are warranted to precisely assess the effect of bevacizumab on the ERM.

Purpose: To assess the short term effect of an intravitreal dexamethasone implant on diabetic macular edema (DME) with epiretinal membrane (ERM). Methods: We conducted a retrospective study including 39 eyes of 39 patients with DME who underwent intravitreal dexamethasone implant injection and were able to be observed for more than 6 months. Patients were divided into two groups according to presence or absence of ERM from March 2015 to June 2016. Results: Thirteen DME eyes with ERM and 26 DME eyes without ERM were enrolled. The classification of ERM was grade 0 in 5 (38.5%) eyes, grade 1 in 7 eyes (53.8%) and grade 2 in 1 eye (7.7%). There was no difference in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) between the DME with ERM group and the DME without ERM group at baseline. After the injection, there was no difference in mean BCVA and mean CMT between the two groups at 1, 3, and 6 months. DME without ERM group showed a significant decrease in CMT compared to baseline at 1, 3, and 6 months (p < 0.001, p = 0.003, p = 0.001, respectively). The DME with ERM group showed a significant decrease in CMT compared to baseline at 1 and 3 months, but no difference at 6 months (p = 0.048, p = 0.024, p = 0.275, respectively). Conclusions: Intravitreal dexamethasone implantation may be a useful treatment modality for patients with DME with ERM, but the duration of the anatomical improvement may be shorter than that for patients with DME without ERM.
