In the primary treatment of diabetic macular edema, initial CMT may be an important factor in decision making. Regardless of initial CMT, IVB caused a better visual outcome only at 6 weeks. With longer follow-up, however, IVB was superior to IVB/IVT and macular laser photocoagulation only in the eyes with initial CMT of ≥350 μm. Concerning CMT reduction, this superiority of IVB in the eyes with initial CMT of ≥350 μm was not observed beyond 12 weeks.
