Rishi P. Singh, MD, of Cleveland Clinic, discussed post hoc analysis results from the VISTA and VIVID studies, which he presented at the ASRS meeting.
In a video interview, Singh talked about the baseline factors, such as glucose control, that may predict the faster or slower resolution of diabetic macular edema.
“We did not see a relationship between the time to DME resolution and the hemoglobin A1c, which I think gives a lot of clinicians some surety about explaining to patients really the finer points of how long it will take therapy to get to a stable resolution of DME,” Singh told Healio. “It just informs patients about what their expectations may meet with regards to DME therapy in real-world clinical practice.”
