Implication

Retrospective study classifies diabetic macular edema types and evaluates OCT features affecting visual acuity.

Key Points

This study aims to classify diabetic macular edema morphologically using optical coherence tomography and assess the impact of OCT biomarkers on DME subtypes.
Retrospective, cross-sectional design
Evaluated 746 eyes of 538 patients with DME
Examined OCT biomarkers related to morphological features of DME and their impact on visual acuity.
CME was the most common subtype (55.1%), followed by dME (40.6%) and CD (3.8%)
Visual acuity was significantly lower in the CD group compared to dME (P < 0.001)
The presence of SRF, HRD, and exudates was more common in CME, while DRIL, ELM, and EZ damages were prevalent in the CD group (P < 0.001).
