Subthreshold Diode Micropulse Laser Combined with Intravitreal Therapy for Macular Edema-A Systematized Review and Critical Approach.
Maciej GawęckiPublished in: Journal of clinical medicine (2021)
the available material was too scarce to provide a reliable assessment of the effects of combined therapy and its relation to intravitreal monotherapy in the treatment of ME secondary to retinal vascular disease. One assumption of note is that it is possible that SDM plus anti-VEGF might require fewer intravitreal injections than anti-VEGF monotherapy with equally good functional and morphological results. However, further randomized research is required to confirm this thesis.
