Inclusion Criteria

* Male or female patients > 18 years of age who have signed an Informed Consent.
* Patients with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus (according to American Diabetes Association or World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines) with glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) less than 12.0% at screening (Visit 1). Patients should be on a dietary, exercise and/or pharmacological program for diabetes. Treatment for diabetes must have been stable for at least 2 months
* Patients with visual impairment due to DME (within the EDTRS criteria of clinically significant macular edema) in at least one eye, with a central area thickness >325 micron, who are eligible for anti-VEGF treatment according to the investigator. If both eyes are eligible, the one with the worse visual acuity, as assessed at Visit 1, will be selected by the investigator as the study eye.
* BCVA equal or more than 24 and less or equal to 78 letters in the study eye and, inclusively, using ETDRS- like visual acuity testing charts at a testing distance of 4 meter (approximate Snellen equivalent of 20/32 to 20/320) at screening.
* Concomitant conditions in the study eye which, in the opinion of the investigator, do not prevent improvement of visual acuity on study treatment
