Abstract
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the leading cause of moderate vision loss in diabetics. Modalities to image and monitor DME have evolved much in the last decade. Systemic control is the most important part of management. Available ocular management options include intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents, laser, steroids (intravitreal or peribulbar), vitrectomy, topical medications and others. Anti-VEGF agents are increasingly being used in clinical practice with good clinical response and are currently the preferred mode of treatment worldwide.

Oxidative and Inflammatory Responses in the Development of Secondary Diabetic Complications
Diabetes, along with its associated secondary complications, represents a significant global health challenge, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, reduced physical activity, environmental pollutants, and stress are pivotal factors in the onset of diabetes, particularly type-2 diabetes. Poorly managed hyperglycemia can lead to various complications, including neuropathy, ...read more
