| Conclusions ILUVIEN significantly increases the percentage of patients who achieve 3-line or greater improvement in BCVA in a DME population previously treated with at least one laser with center-involved edemaApproximately three-fourths of these patients were able to achieve significant visual benefit with a single insert over 3 yearsConcomitant administration of laser or intravitreally administered therapies was performed in patients with more severe disease and was well toleratedILUVIEN was associated with an increase in IOPChanges in IOP appear to be reversible and consistent with the reduction in aqueous concentration of FAc as the insert depletes over timeA majority of patients were controlled with topical medications or laser trabeculoplasty, based on a quarterly visit scheduleRemoval of the implant seems to allow the IOP to return to normal levels |
