This study investigates the anatomical changes at the macula in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) using Spectral Domain-Ocular Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT), highlighting the significance of SD-OCT in diagnosing and managing DME. The research encompasses the pathophysiological aspects of DME, the role of OCT in its evaluation, and the impact of various risk factors on macular changes.
Background: Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) is a leading cause of vision impairment among patients with diabetic retinopathy, characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the macula due to the breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier. The study outlines the clinical and pathophysiological features of DME and emphasizes the importance of early detection and management to prevent vision loss. Spectral Domain-Ocular Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) offers detailed imaging of retinal layers, making it an indispensable tool in the assessment of DME.
