Abstract

Case report: We report the case of a 66-year-old man with non-proliferating diabetic retinopathy in both eyes and tractional diabetic macular edema (DME) in his right eye, as confirmed by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). We also present the results after pars plana vitrectomy and dissection of the posterior hyalod. Discussion: OCT is a useful tool for the diagnosis, follow-up and design of the surgical treatment of patients with tractional DME. It allows us to examine the evolution of the edema in a non-invasive way.
