A single DEX injection showed significant clinical and anatomical improvement in DME cases that are persistent after anti-VEGF treatment in our sample, with an excellent safety profile. In case of supply shortage of intravitreal injections, which occurs frequently at our center, a single DEX injection may be utilized as an effective DME therapy. Further research is mandated to identify clinical response in a larger sample and more frequent injections.
