Brief Summary
The Health Authority - Abu Dhabi (HAAD) approved the reimbursement of the slow release FAc implant (ILUVIEN) and it is now available for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME) in persons who have been previously treated with a course of corticosteroids and did not have a clinically significant rise in intraocular pressure. We performed a retrospective 12-month audit to assess the efficacy and safety of the FAc implant in our clinical practice.

Interventions
Eligibility Criteria
Twenty patients with pseudophakic lenses, treated with ILUVIEN, were investigated to evaluate functional and anatomical characteristics and outcomes (visual acuity \[VA; ETDRS letters score\], central macular thickness \[CMT\] and intraocular pressure \[IOP\]) at baseline, weeks 2-4 and months 3, 6 and 12 months.
