OCT and OCT-Angiography Biomarkers of Treatment Response to Dexamethasone Implant in Macular Edema Due to Retinal Vascular Diseases - DME and RVO

Intravitreal dexamethasone implant (Dex) slowly releases steroids into the vitreous over a period of up to 6 months. Dex 0.7 mg (Ozurdex™; Allergan, Irvine, CA, USA) has been used to reduce ME in patients with DR and RVO and its efficacy in terms of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improvement and central macular thickness (CMT) reduction has been demonstrated in many different studies.
