Summary

In this study, all eyes with diabetic macular edema who meet the inclusion criteria and do not meet the exclusion criteria will be included. After the eye examination, the eyes will be randomly divided into 2 groups {group A: intravitreal interjection of Bevacizumab and subthreshold micropulse laser, and group B: intravitreal injection of Bevacizumab alone}. For both groups, 3 intravitreal injections of bevacizumab with a dose of 1.25 mg will be performed, in sterile conditions at 1-month intervals as a loading dose.

A subthreshold micropulse laser will be performed after the third injection in group A and a sham laser will be performed after the third injection in group B. Then, the intravitreal injection of Bevacizumab will be continued if the central thickness of the macula is equal to or greater than 300 microns.

The follow-up will be performed 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 months after the first injection. In each follow-up (except for the first month), ophthalmological examinations and Optical Coherence Tomography will be performed.
