Improvement of diabetic retinopathy with intravitreal Ranibizumab

Abstract This study indicates that in addition to the significant improvement in visual acuity and reduction of central retinal thickness in patients with center-involving diabetic macular edema, intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment with Ranibizumab may also lead to a significant stabilization or even i...
