Macular and peripapillary microvasculature after dexamethasone injection in diabetic macular edema.

Intravitreal dexamethasone leads to a significant FAZ area decrease in DCP with a reduction in parafoveal VD measurements. In addition, no significant VD changes were observed in the peripapillary area after dexamethasone. These findings indicate that dexamethasone may improve macular ischemia with no significant effects on peripapillary microvasculature in DME patients.
