Abstract
In the present study, the group of patients with focal macular edema were epidemiologically similar to the group of patients with diabetic retinopathy without macular edema, the group of patients with diffuse macular edema were epidemiologically different.

Seventy-two percent of eyes of younger onset and 45% of Eyes of older onset persons that had received panretinal photocoagulation treatment were found to have incomplete regression of retinal new vessels, and in approximately half of these eyes severe proliferative retinopathy (Diabetic Retinopathy Study High Risk Characteristics [DRS-HRC]) was present.

Cystoid macular edema was present in two eyes that contained peripheral choroidal melanomas, and in a third eye from a patient with diabetes only, and retinal vascular changes, consisting mainly of endothelial cell abnormalities, were found in all cases but were far more common in the two eyes from diabetic patients.

Analysis of available data from eyes randomly selected for deferral of treatment shows close agreement between retinal specialists and photographic graders for clinically significant macular edema, which supports the reliability of each method.

The observation that CAD does not occur in diabetic patients in populations with a low risk of CAD among nondiabetic patients is consistent with the hypothesis that the diabetic milieu has an impact on the progression of atherosclerotic lesions but not on their initiation.

The importance of "treatment density" as an independent predictor of visual outcome is a new finding and lends support to the common clinical practice of repeating photocoagulation if initial treatment does not reduce or stabilize retinal neovascularization.
