Description
Aiping Deng and co-authors ask, in a 2026 retrospective study, whether early eye scans predict later vision gains in diabetic macular edema treated with aflibercept injections. They followed 112 eyes from 112 patients and measured retinal thickness, layer damage, and small bright spots on scans taken one and four months after treatment began.
Vision and scan measures both improved by twelve months. Scan features at one month predicted a gain of at least five letters fairly well, features at four months did slightly better, and combining both time points predicted best. Eye clinics could use the early scans to counsel patients about likely progress and to flag those needing closer attention.
