Abstract

This study aimed at investigating the clinical effect of ranibizumab combined with panretinal photocoagulation in the treatment of macular edema in diabetic retinopathy (DR) patients. A parametric deformation model was constructed, and based on this, it was evaluated using optical coherence tomography (OCT) combined with fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA). 56 DR patients (80 eyes) who needed surgery were selected for OCT and FFA scanning, and 0.5 mg ranibizumab was administered intravitreal injection before surgery. It should observe the OCT and FFA image characteristics of patients. In addition, the vision correction status before the surgery, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after the surgery, the thickness of the macular retina, operation time, the number of intraoperative electrocoagulation, and complications of patients were recorded. It was found that 82.85% of patients had improved visual acuity after surgery. Compared with preoperative, the average logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) of patients at 6 months after surgery increased significantly (P < 0.01). With the increase of the grade of fibrosis and the grade of hemorrhage, the logMAR visual acuity recovery at 6 months after the surgery became worse; the macular retinal thickness at 6 months after the surgery decreased significantly (P < 0.01). With the increase of the grade of fibrous proliferation and the grade of bleeding, the operation time, the number of electrocoagulation, and the possibility of iatrogenic holes of patient would increase. It can be known that ranibizumab combined with panretinal photocoagulation surgery could not only reduce the macular edema but also effectively reduce the intraoperative bleeding, simplify the removal of proliferative membranes, decrease the number of electrocoagulation, and shorten the operation time, enhancing the visual function of patients.
