Real-World Outcomes of the 0.19 mg Fluocinolone Acetonide Implant for DME

On this episode of ASRS’s Journal of Vitreoretinal Diseases (JVRD) Author’s Forum, Dr. Timothy Murray welcomes David S. Boyer, MD, of Retina Vitreous Associates Medical Group (LA Retina) Los Angeles, CA, to discuss real-world outcomes for use of the 0.19 mg fluocinolone implant in treating diabetic macular edema in 148 eyes, documenting stable VA, decreased central subfield thickness, and a reduced need for intravitreal anti-VEGF. Tune in for a discussion on why the 0.19 mg fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant provided long-term stabilization of VA and macular anatomy in patients with DME, despite a significant reduction in treatment frequency.
