Absence of significant change in mean ICA after a minimum of three intravitreal anti-VEGF injections, may indicate that, in the short term, anti-VEGF injections neither impair nor improve macular perfusion in DME. Baseline BCVA was found to be a robust predictor of functional outcome, while inner mean ICA was a significant predictor for macular thickness outcomes.
