Brief Summary

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

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the functional and anatomical effects of switching from Bevacizumab to Aflibercept in patients with persistent DME resistant to Bevacizumab.

Methods: Patients with DME refractory to Bevacizumab (1.25 mg/ 0.05 mL) were subsequently switched to Aflibercept (2.0 mg/0.05 ml). The included patients received 5 loading doses of intravitreal Aflibercept (2.0 mg/0.05 mL) (Eylea; Bayer, Berlin, Germany) given monthly. After the loading dose, Aflibercept was injected every 2 months. The follow up duration was one year.
