Abstract
Introduction: To investigate the correlation between Macular thickness and Volume with Bestcorrected
visual acuity (BCVA) in eyes with Diabetic macular edema and Type 2 diabetes.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective study including 60 eyes of 60 patients evaluating Retinal
thickness and macular volume measured with Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography and
best corrected visual acuity was measured with the Snellens Chart.
Results: There is significant increase in the macular thickness and macular volume with decrease in
the best corrected visual acuity.
Conclusion: Diabetic macular edema causes decrease in visual acuity due increase in macular
thickness and volume.
