Purpose. to assess short-term functional and anatomical outcomes of refractory diabetic macular edema (dme) following a switch from ranibizumab or dexamethasone to aflibercept. methods. we included retrospectively eyes with persistent dme after at least 3 ranibizumab and/or one dexamethasone implant intravitreal injections (ivi). the primary endpoint was the mean change in visual acuity (va) at month 6 (m6) after switching. results. twenty-five eyes were included. before switching to aflibercept,23 eyes received a median of 9.5 ranibizumab,and among them,6 eyes received one dexamethasone implant after ranibizumab and 2 eyes received only one dexamethasone implant. baseline va,before any ivi,was 52.9 ± 16.5 letters,and preswitch va was 57.1 ± 19.6 letters. the mean va gain was +8 letters (p=0.01) between preswitch and m6. the mean central retinal thickness was 470.8 ± 129.9 μm before the switch and 303.3 ± 59.1 μm at m6 (p=0.001). conclusion. switching to aflibercept in refractory dme results in significant functional and anatomical improvement. the study was approved by the france macula federation ethical committee (fmf 2017-138). © 2017 antoine herbaut et al.
