Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Changes in best corrected visual acuity

    At all study visits: ETDRS visual acuity will be measured visit excluding post op day 1 (snellen visual acuity will be measured). Intraocular pressure (IOP) will be checked. Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). Dilated fundus exam. At Pre Op, Post Op Week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 visits: ETDRS visual acuity will be measured. IOP check. Spectral Domain OCT. Fundus photography. Fundus Autofluorescence (AF). Fluorescein Angiography (FA). Dilated Fundus exam.

    6 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of persistent macular edema on Central OCT thickness in treatment (PPV + MP + DEX) versus non-treatment (PPV + MP) groups

    6 months

Study Arms (2)

PPV + MP + DEX

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will undergo pars plana vitrectomy, membrane peel, and concomitant Ozurdex implant (0.7 mg dose).

Drug: Dexamethasone Intravitreal Implant

PPV + MP

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients will undergo pars plana vitrectomy with membrane peel, without Ozurdex implant.

Drug: Dexamethasone Intravitreal Implant

Interventions

Half of the study participants (15 out of 30) will receive one - Dexamethasone Intravitreal Implant 0.7 mg.

Also known as: Pars Plana Vitrectomy, Membrane Peel, Dexamethasone Intravitreal Implant (Ozurdex)
PPV + MPPPV + MP + DEX
