Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) on focal edema with hard exudates secondary to diabetic retinopathy.

Design: Prospective interventional case series. Participants: Ten eyes of 10 consecutive patients showing focal edema with hard exudates secondary to diabetic retinopathy which are not eligible for focal laser photocoagulation due to central location (\< 500 µm from fovea).
