Figure 1. Cross-sectional optical coherence tomography images of the fovea of patients with a macular hole and diabetic macular edema
A: OCT image of patient 1 demonstrating a stage 2 MH in the right eye, retinal edema and posterior vitreous detachment at the macular region are seen; B: Three months after intravitreal dexamethasone implant injection, macular edema has reduced and the MH is closed; C: OCT image of patient 2 demonstrating a stage 1 MH in the right eye, retinal edema and PVD at the macular region are seen; D: After three intravitreal bevacizumab injections that were administered monthly, reduced macular edema and closure of the MH are observed; E: OCT image of patient 3 showing a stage 2 MH and diffuse retinal edema in the right eye, PVD at the macular region is seen; F: After one month of intravitreal bevacizumab injections, macular edema has reduced and the MH has closed. MH: Macular hole; PVD: Posterior vitreous detachment.
