MORPHOMETRIC INDICATORS OF RETINA IN DIFFUSE DIABETIC MACULAR EDEMA IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETES MELLITUS TYPE 2
Clinical-morphometric research of retina thickness and volume, condition of a retinal cut in diffuse macular edema was carried out on 152 eyes of the patients with diabetes mellitus type 2. We defined three levels of severity by criteria of thickness of a macular retina and macular volume: flat diffuse diabetic macular edema (DME) (macular volume 12,81±0,71mm 3); expressed diffuse DME (macular volume 13,79±0,62mm 3); high diffuse DME (macular volume -15,35±0,61 mm 3). The tendency of frequency and volume of cystous cavities of the areas of firm exudates, of frequency and prevalence of neuroepithelium detachment increase was revealed.
