Significant Bilateral Response in Diabetic Macular Edema After Single Unilateral Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection. Ophthalmic surgery, lasers & imaging retina Rahimy, E., Nyong'o, O., Leng, T. 2017; 48 (2): 167-169

Abstract

A 61-year-old patient with bilateral, treatment-naïve, diffuse diabetic macular edema (DME) that had been progressing during the previous 12 months received a single intravitreal injection of aflibercept (Eylea; Regeneron, Tarrytown, NY) to the left eye. At 2-week follow-up, noticeable bilateral improvement of the DME was observed by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography imaging with commensurate improvement of visual acuity to 20/30 bilaterally. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2017;48:167-169.].
