The authors reported results of modified grid macular photocoagulation in 171 eyes with diffuse diabetic macular edema. After 24 months of follow-up, the macular edema resolved or improved in 94% of eyes and vision stabilized or improved in 85% of eyes.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 1997. The authors reported results of vitrectomy with stripping of the posterior hyaloid in 59 eyes with diffuse diabetic macular edema associated with a thickened and taut posterior hyaloid. This is the largest retrospective series published to date and the authors found that eyes without macular ischemia responded most favorably to surgery.
