Microvascular abnormalities such as microaneurysms are the most characteristic sign of diabetic retinopathy, and extravascular leakage from these can cause macular edema 9. However, macular edema does not improve, but rather persists in a significant number of patients despite repeated intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF and/or corticosteroid 6, 7, 8.

In particular, anti-VEGF therapy has shown superior efficacy for treating DME in several large randomized clinical trials 2, 3, 4, 5, and has become the first-line treatment for DME. In recent years, non-surgical treatments, including intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and periocular/intravitreal corticosteroid injection, have contributed to the significant improvement in visual outcome for patients with DME. For decades, focal and grid macular laser photocoagulation has been the standard treatment for DME 1. Our results suggest that IR imaging and OCT-guided focal laser photocoagulation of TelCaps can improve functional and anatomical outcomes in persistent DME.Дiabetic macular edema (DME) is a common cause of moderate vision loss among patients with diabetic retinopathy 1. The characteristic hyperreflectivity within hyporeflective lesions on the IR image in conjunction with OCT helps identify the TelCap. A significant improvement in visual acuity and reduction in central subfield thickness were observed at three and 12В months after focal laser photocoagulation (all pвЂ‰<вЂ‰0.05). After focal laser photocoagulation, the TelCap closure rate was 57.1% at 3В months and 71.4% at 12В months. On IR imaging, TelCap appeared as a characteristic hyperreflectivity within a hyporeflective spherical lesion in 85.7% of the eyes. The TelCap closure rate, changes in best-corrected visual acuity, and central subfield thickness were analyzed.

All patients were followed up for more than 12В months after direct focal laser photocoagulation of the TelCaps. The presence of TelCaps was confirmed using IR and OCT images.

This retrospective case series included 28 eyes of 28 patients with TelCap and persistent DME refractory to intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor or corticosteroids. This study aimed to assess detection rate of telangiectatic capillaries (TelCaps) with infrared reflectance (IR) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) images and to evaluate the clinical efficacy of IR image-guided focal laser photocoagulation of TelCaps in persistent diabetic macular edema (DME).
