Diabetes With Diabetic Retinopathy With Macular Edema Clinical Trial
Official title:
International Consortium Investigating Early Vitrectomy in Diabetic Macular Edema Patients - the ICV-DME Study
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of vitrectomy for the treatment of diabetic macular edema.

Removing the vitreous gel with vitrectomy surgery is known to decrease the swelling caused by diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy is often treated with laser or injections of medicine in to the eye.
