The Role of Intravitreal Glucose in Macular Thinning Following Surgery for Retinal Detachment or Epimacular Membrane

Comparison between intravitreous glucose rate and macular thinning measured by Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT) at 3 months post vitrectomy for retinal detachment or epimacular membrane. Hypothesis : Association between post-operative macular thickness and intravitreous glucose rate

About this study

Comparison between intravitreous glucose rate and macular thinning measured by OCT at 3 months post vitrectomy for retinal detachment or epimacular membrane. The cohort is divided in 2 groups, one with the thinnest macular measurement under 190µm, and the others above 190µm. We are looking for a correlation between increasing glucose rates and decreased macular thickness.
