  2. Active proliferative diabetic retinopathy (ETDRS stage 61 or more severe)
  3. Structural damage to the center of the macula in the study eye likely to preclude improvement in visual acuity following the resolution of macular edema, including atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium, subretinal fibrosis, laser scar(s), or organized central hard exudate plaque³ 1 disk area
  4. Hypertensive retinopathy
  5. Epiretinal membrane.
  6. Rubeosis irides .
  7. Patient requiring immediate panretinal photocoagulation or panretinal photocoagulation performed within the past 6 months .
  8. History of chronic glaucoma in the study eye
  9. History of elevated intraocular pressure ≥30 mm Hg and/or alteration of visual field
  10. Concomitant therapy with systemic or topical ocular corticosteroids within the last 15 days .
  11. Cataract surgery in the study eye within the past 6 months, Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet (YAG) laser capsulotomy within the past 6 months,
  12. Aphakia
  13. Patient with pseudophakic macula edema
  14. Unstable medical status including glycemic control and blood pressure. Patients in poor glycemic control who, within the last 4 months, initiated intensive insulin treatment (a pump or multiple daily injections) should not be enrolled.
  15. Chronic renal failure
  16. Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Macular edema is the main cause of vision loss in diabetic patients. Its treatment is mainly based on laser photocoagulation, but has limited results. Alternative treatment are under investigation, such as vitrectomy and intravitreal injections of triamcinolone .The aim of VITRILASE is to compare the efficacy of these two treatments to laser photocoagulation for diabetic macular edema.
Detailed Description
It is a randomized study with three arms vitrectomy repeat intravitreal triamcinolone injections laser photocoagulation
