Summary
Brief summary
Purpose was to evaluate efficacy of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide before pan retinal photocoagulation for improvement of visual acuity and macular edema in diabetic retinopathy. Our hypothesis is that triamcinolone acetonide before PRP helps for decreasing macular edema and improvement of visual acuity
