From (124), copyright Elsevier

aEyes with either NVD 1.5 disc areas or more in extent or NVE 2.5 disc areas or more in extent in at least one of the seven standard photographic fields were classified as severe; eyes with both NVD and NVE of this extent were classified as very severe

of NLP. These results are consistent with those of the earlier DRVS study and support the use of vitrectomy in cases with very severe PDR that do not respond promptly to scatter photocoagulation or in which it cannot be applied because of vitreous hemorrhage.

Pharmacologic Treatment of PDR

Owing to the lack of effective alternative treatments in age-related macular degeneration, pharmacologic management of neovascularization with intravitreal injection of drugs was first introduced for this disease. With greater familiarity with intravitreal injection procedures in the office setting and the tolerability of the procedure among patients, use of these agents has gradually expanded to include treatment of select cases of PDR, but published reports are sparse and most exist as uncontrolled case series.

Steroids are potent antiangiogenic agents and were the first class of such drugs discovered by Folkman (13). Intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide, a potent steroid with a long drug half-life in the eye after intravitreal injection, has been extensively used for treatment of DME. Some literature demonstrates potential efficacy in the treatment of PDR. Although demonstrating good efficacy in pilot reports for neovascularization due to uveitis (124), and intriguing positive reports of its utility in the management of neovascular glaucoma (125), its side effect profile of cataractogenesis (126) and secondary steroid-induced glaucoma (127) prohibit its widespread use for a condition that already
