Study Overview
Brief Summary
Diabetic related complications are increasing day by day due to increse in the number of diabetic patients all over the world. Diabetic macular edema is one of them and a major cause of vision imparment. Various kind of treatment modalities are preent to treat this coplication. Grid laser is one treatment modality. Laser phtocoagulation is a destrictive procedure.Laser power if kept to aminimum can get the desired results without severe destruction to the retina . In this study, the investigators are going to document the effect of minimal grid laser tn loss o overcome the visioe to diabetic macular edema.
