[Comparative assessment of various methods for diagnosis of diabetic macular edema].

ABSTRACT

This study compared the sensitivity and specificity of various methods for diagnosing diabetic macular edema. It included patients with types 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus and healthy volunteers. In addition to standard ophthalmological examination, the authors performed computed perimetry with subthreshold and threshold brightness, Amsler's test, optical coherent tomography, retinal confocal tomography, and fluorescence angiography. The highest informative value was obtained when optical coherent tomography was used in combination with fluorescence angiography.
