Description: Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a common cause of moderate visual impairment among people with diabetes. Due to the rising number of people with diabetes in India, the absolute numbers of people with DME are significant. There are several treatment options for DME, and the choice of treatment is based on the availability of retinal specialists and infrastructure for the delivery of treatment. A major challenge is the out-of-pocket expenditure incurred by patients as most treatment options are costly. Treatment also varies based on the associated ocular and systemic conditions. The All India Ophthalmology Society (AIOS) and the Vitreo-Retinal Society of India (VRSI) have developed this consensus statement of the AIOS DR task force and VRSI on practice points of DME management in India. The objective is to describe the preferred practice patterns for the management of DME considering the different presentations of DME in different clinical scenarios.
