Purpose: We compared the efficacy of sub-Tenon triamcinolone acetonide (STTA) to intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) injections during cataract surgery (CS) for patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). Methods: The medical records of 33 eyes (26 patients) with DME which had undergone CS with STTA were compared to those of 34 eyes (27 patients) with DME which had undergone CS with IVTA. Central foveal thickness and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were measured at the baseline and 1, 3, and 6 months after the surgery. Results: The BCVAs after STTA and IVTA were significantly improved at 3 and 6 months. Thirteen eyes in the IVTA group and 21 eyes in the STTA group required other therapies (p < 0.05). One case developed intraocular pressure elevation after IVTA and underwent selective laser trabeculoplasty. Conclusions: Ophthalmologists should consider the merits and demerits of IVTA and STTA for DME treatment after CS. (C) 2018 S. Karger AG, Basel.
