photocoagulation.

3. Best corrected visual acuity score between 78 and 25 letters (Early Treatment
Diabetic Retinopathy Study- ETDRS Chart - 4 meters).

4. Central foveal thickness >250µm (Optical Coherence Tomography).

5. Diabetes medication stable in the 3 months prior.

Exclusion Criteria:

In the study eye:

1. Active intraocular inflammation.

2. Any active infection.

3. History of uveitis.

4. Structural damage within 500 microns of the center of the macula.
