Purpose: To compare the effects of macular photocoagulation with or without intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) or triamcinolone (IVTA) for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME). Casuistic and Methods: 58 eyes of 44 patients with diffuse DME were randomized to receive either IVB + focal/grid laser (IVB-Laser, n=19), IVTA + focal/grid laser (IVTA-Laser, n=16) or focal/grid laser alone (Laser, n=23). Ophthalmic evaluation, including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP) and central macular thickness (CMT) were performed at baseline and monthly for 12 months.
