Measure
Targeted Pan Retinal Laser Combined With 0.5mg Ranibizumab
Cohort 1 (n=24), previously treated with at least 2 consecutive or more intravitreal injections of any anti-VEGF agent with persistent or recurrent macular edema will receive 6 loading doses of 0.5 mg ranibizumab followed by PRN treatment with ranibizumab 0.5 mg; after receiving the first loading dose of ranibizumab, the subject will have peripheral targeted-retinal photocoagulation (TRP) based on 200° wide field angiography with possibility of a second session of TRP at M4/M7, if non-perfusion persists based on angiogram.The 200°wide field angiography will indicate areas of peripheral ischemia which will be selectively treated, preserving areas of more perfused retina. 0.5mg Ranibizumab: intravitreal injections Targeted Pan Retinal Photocoagulation: Targeted Pan Retinal Photocoagulation based on wide field angiography
