Diabetes has been increasing in prevalence over the years, and nearly 30 million Americans (9.3%) now have diabetes (1). This disease burden on the population also translates to increased prevalence rates of diabetes complications. Diabetes is associated with several eye complications, including cataracts and glaucoma (2). However, the most common eye disorder associated with diabetes is diabetic retinopathy (DR), which is the leading cause of blindness among U.S. adults (2,3). During the 2005–2008 time period, u003e4 million adults ≥40 years of age with diabetes had retinopathy, including diabetic macular edema (DME) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), which can lead to vision loss (1).The management of systemic disorders is vital to preventing diabetic eye complications (4). Specifically, the management of diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia has been associated with reduced or delayed onset and progression of DR (5–11). However, even with adequate control of these metabolic conditions, people with diabetes may still be at risk for developing retinopathy. Adequate eye screening is therefore important for the early detection and treatment of visual complications (4). Screening recommendations call for a dilated, comprehensive eye examination within 5 years after diabetes diagnosis for people with type 1 diabetes and immediately after diagnosis for those with type 2 diabetes (12).Laser therapy has been the mainstay of treatment for DR and DME. Primarily, laser photocoagulation treatment has been used to prevent vision loss and to delay progression of retinopathy (13). The associated adverse effects of laser therapy, including night and peripheral vision loss, are generally preferred to eventual blindness. When laser treatment is not feasible, vitreous surgery becomes an option and has been shown to be beneficial for PDR and DME (4).Research has supported the intravitreal administration of steroids, whose anti-inflammatory and antiangiogenic effects are beneficial in …
