The Relation Between Inner Segment/ Outer Segment Junction And Visual Acuity Before And After Ranibizumab In Diabetic Macular Edema

Abstract

This study included 50 eyes of 44 patients with diabetic macular edema. In this study, the association between the integrity of the inner segment/outer segment (IS/OS) junction line, visual acuity, color vision, retinal volume, central macular thickness, type of diabetic retinopathy and control of diabetes mellitus were evaluated. There was a statistically non-significant relation between IS/OS before ranibizumab injection and the other studied parameters. After first injection there was a highly statistically significant relationship between IS/OS and both the retinal volume and color vision. After the second and the third injections there was a statistically significant
