Intravitreal Bevacizumab for Nonproliferative Diabetic Retinopathy

Summary

In this randomized clinical trial, 100 eyes with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy will be included and divided randomly into 2 groups: Intravitreal Bevacizumab group (50 eyes) that receive 6 bimonthly intravitreal bevacizumab, and control group (50 eyes) that undergo regular follow-up for Diabetic Retinopathy. Diabetic macular edema (DME) will be treated independently in all groups by intravitreal bevacizumab. Primary outcome will be the percentage of patients with progression of 2 or more stages through international diabetic retinopathy staging. The secondary measures will be changes in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT), and number of examinations and injection.
