Diabetic macular edema

Diabetic macular edema is a vision-threatening manifestation of diabetic retinopathy characterized by the accumulation of excess extracellular fluid and subsequent thickening of the macula, the retinal region responsible for sharp, high-acuity central vision Affecting individuals with chronic diabetes mellitus, the condition arises from sustained hyperglycemia, microvascular damage, and increased vascular permeability mediated by inflammatory cytokines and vascular endothelial growth factor
