Byline: ANI Washington, Apr 3 (ANI): Treating diabetes with a class of drugs, called glitazone, leads to a "modest" increase in the risk of diabetic macular oedema (DME), which is a common vision-threatening complication, according to a study.
Caution is recommended when using tafluprost in aphakic patients, pseudophakic patients with torn posterior lens capsule or anterior chamber lenses, or in patients with known risk factors for cystoid macular oedema or iritis/uveitis.
