Macular edema is the condition when
the fluid and proteins start collecting on or under the macula of the eye
thereby resulting in swelling. Due to such swelling, a person’s central
eye vision gets distorted. Macular edema is classified into two types namely
cystoids macular edema (CME) and diabetic macular edema (DME).

Diabetic macular edema is the major
reason for loss of vision in patients suffering from diabetic retinopathy.
Diabetes patient are reported to have a 10% risk of developing this condition
during their lifetime. On the basis of the cause of disease, DME is classified
into two types:
Diffuse macular edema: due to
abnormalities in dilated capillaries present in the retina.
Focal macular edema: due to
abnormalities in microaneurysms
For diagnosing diabetic macular
edema, an ophthalmologist checks the retina for symptoms of the disease
including leaking blood vessel, retinal swelling, damaged nerve tissues and
pale, fatty deposits on the retina. For further confirmation, comprehensive
eye examination such as visual acuity test, dilated exam test and tonometry
are performed.
During the initial stages of DME,
no treatment is needed unless the patients efficiently control their blood
sugar levels. If the condition becomes severe, the standard treatment for
diabetic macular edema is laser photocoagulation. This procedure utilizes
laser to reduce edema byapplying a pattern of burnsor bycauterizing leaky
blood vessels. For avoiding the side-effects of this treatment, retinal
specialists apply injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth
factorcorticosteroids along with laser photocoagulation. Currently, there are
only two approved drugs available in market for treating DME namely Lucentis
and Ozurdex. Other treatment methods are currently under clinical
trials.
The markets for America and Europe
are at the maturity stage for diabetic macular edema because large proportion
of population is suffering from diabetes. Lucentis and Ozurdex ocuppy the
major part of the market share in the therapeutics market. Asia-Pacific is
also growing at faster pace while the markets of Africa and Australia are
currently at initial stages. Some of the companies and institutes which are
involved in clinical trials for treatment of diabetic macular edema are
Allergan, Inc., Novartis AG, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., Regeneron
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Pfizer, Inc.,Bayer AG, Bausch & Lomb
Incorporated,the Diabetic Retinopathy Clinical Research Network, The National
Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins University and ShahidBeheshti University of
Medical Sciences.
