A Comparative Study of Ganglion Cell Complex Thickness Changes in Diabetic Macular Edema and Central Retinal Vein Occlusion Macular Edema: An Optical Coherence Tomography Study
Aim This study aims to compare the ganglion cell complex changes in diabetic macular edema (DME) and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) macular edema using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study conducted for six months. All patients having DME...

description | Aim This study aims to compare the ganglion cell complex changes in diabetic macular edema (DME) and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) macular edema using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study conducted for six months. All patients having DME and CRVO macular edema presenting to the Ophthalmology Department at Acharya Vinobha Bhave Rural Hospital were included in the study. A detailed and comprehensive ophthalmic examination was performed, and OCT was done for each patient. Results The incidence of both DME and CRVO macular edema were both found to be maximum in the age group of 61-69 years. DME is more common in males (62.86%) than females (37.14%); the same was observed in CRVO group: 54.29% were males and 45.71% were females. Macular edema showed a mean value of 370.11 in DME and 428.71 in CRVO. Thus, the CRVO group showed more macular edema than the DME group. The ganglion cell complex thickness showed a mean value of 58.47 in DME and 66.77 in the CRVO group, implying that the thickness reduced significantly in the DME group. Conclusion OCT provides quantitative measurement of the ganglion cell complex thickness, which helps monitor the course of macular edema secondary to CRVO and diabetes Mellitus and thereby provides an assessment of the prognosis of the disease as these two diseases in particular are major causes of blindness worldwide, and timely care and management can help in altering its course. |
