17Key Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria

i Inclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Aged 18 years or older 2. Clinically significant macular edema (CSME) defined according to the ETDRS:- Retinal thickening at or within 500µm of the center of the macula; or - Hard exudates at or within 500µm of the center of the macula associated with adjacent retinal thickening; or - A zone or zones of retinal thickening of one disc area in size and at least part of which is within one disc diameter of the center of fovea 3. Macular edema of at least 250µm involving the fovea, as documented on optical coherent tomography (OCT) 4. Patients with best-corrected visual acuity of better than 1.3 ETDRS logMAR units 5. Patients physically fit to receive intravitreal injection 6. Informed consent

ii Exclusion Criteria

Exclusion Criteria: 1. Ocular diseases other than cataract, CSME and refractive error, which includes: a. Any conditions known to cause macular edema, including retinal vein or artery occlusion, uveitis, premacular fibrosis, retinitis pigmentosa, macular hole and choroidal neovascularization b. Fibrovascular proliferation with or without tractional retinal detachment; c. Glaucoma and ocular hypertension 2. Proliferative diabetic retinopathy 3. Media opacities which affect fundus examination or OCT measurements 4. Previous intraocular surgery except uncomplicated cataract extraction and posterior intraocular lens insertion 5. Any laser procedure within 4 months; or cataract extraction or intravitreal triamcinolone injection within 6 months 6. Pregnant patients 7. Failure to comply with follow up schedule 8. Presence of a non-healing wound, ulcer, fracture, or any medical condition associated with bleeding 9. "Single eye" patient with fellow eye having best-corrected visual acuity of 20/400 or worse. 10.
