ABSTRACT
<p><b>INTRODUCTION</b>Although laser photocoagulation is the primary treatment for diabetic macular oedema, treatment of eyes with diffuse macular oedema has been disappointing. Intravitreal injection of steroids is being investigated for the treatment of diabetic macular oedema. Preliminary results indicate that steroid injections do improve macular oedema, but it is not clear if they improve visual acuity.</p><p><b>CLINICAL PICTURE, TREATMENT, AND OUTCOME</b>In this report, we describe a patient with a form of diffuse diabetic macular oedema that responded favourably to intravitreal steroid injections, with improvements in both foveal thickness and visual acuity.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Intravitreal steroids can be useful for the treatment of diffuse diabetic macular oedema.</p>
