Multifocal electroretinography changes at the 1-year follow-up in a cohort of diabetic macular edema patients treated with ranibizumab.

The multifocal electroretinogram allowed us to differentiate groups of eyes with DME according to their electrophysiological profile, both initially and after being treated with RNBZ. Ranibizumab increased the response density in all DME types included in the study, with a maximum response in those eyes with spongiform type. Once treated with RNBZ, the macular electrophysiological activity improved in eyes that had a well-preserved ellipsoid zone and ELM. The presence of hard exudates was a limitation to the response density achieved at the foveola.
