ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To compare foveal sensitivity in eyes with and without diabetic macular edema, with 20/20 visual acuity. METHODS: Non-experimental, comparative, prospective, cross sectional study in eyes with and without retinopathy and focal macular edema, with 20/20 visual acuity. The sample was divided in 3 groups: (1) non-diabetic subjects, (2) diabetics without retinopathy, and 3) diabetics with non-proliferative retinopathy and clinically significant macular edema. Median foveal sensitivity was compared between groups (Kruskal Wallis test). RESULTS: 86 eyes (28 in group 1, 26 in group 2 and 32 in group (3). Medians shown a statistical difference between groups (p = 0.001). Median foveal sensitivity was significantly lower in group 3 than in group 1 (p = 0.001) and than in group 2 (p = 0.03). Median foveal sensitivity did not differ between groups 1 and 2 (p = 0.10). CONCLUSION: Foveal sensitivity in diabetic macular edema and visual acuity 20/20 is lower in eyes with center sparing clinically significant macular edema and 20/20 visual acuity. The prognostic value of this dysfunction requires evaluation, in order to learn whether early treatment is required in these eyes.


OBJETIVO: Comparar la sensibilidad foveal en ojos con y sin edema macular diabético, con agudeza visual 20/20. MÉTODO: Estudio observacional, comparativo, transversal y prospectivo, en ojos con y sin retinopatía y edema macular focal, con agudeza visual 20/20. La muestra se dividió en tres grupos: 1) sujetos sin diabetes, 2) diabéticos sin retinopatía, y 3) diabéticos con retinopatía diabética no proliferativa y edema macular focal. Se compararon las medianas de la sensibilidad foveal entre grupos mediante la prueba de Kruskal-Wallis. RESULTADOS: Se evaluaron 86 ojos (28 del grupo 1, 26 del 2 y 32 del 3). La comparación de medianas mostró una diferencia significativa entre grupos (p = 0.001). La sensibilidad foveal fue significativamente menor en el grupo 3 que en el grupo 1 (p = 0.001) y que en el grupo 2 (p = 0.03). La mediana de la sensibilidad foveal no difirió entre los grupos 1 y 2 (p = 0.10). CONCLUSIÓN: La sensibilidad foveal en el edema macular diabético con agudeza visual 20/20 es menor en ojos con edema macular clínicamente significativo sin engrosamiento del centro de la mácula y agudeza visual 20/20. Determinar el valor pronóstico de esta disfunción requiere una evaluación adicional para identificar si se necesita tratamiento temprano en estos ojos.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Visual improvement after photocoagulation in focal diabetic macular edema is more frequent when temporal perifoveal area is not affected; functional status before treatment could be worse in eyes with perifoveal temporal thickening. The correlation between visual acuity and foveal sensitivity (usually significant), would allow to compare macular function. OBJECTIVE: To compare the correlation between retinal sensitivity and visual acuity in eyes with diabetic macular edema, with and without temporal perifoveal thickening. METHOD: Non-experimental, retrospective, comparative, cross-sectional study in type 2 diabetics with macular edema. The correlation between foveal sensitivity and visual acuity was compared in eyes without temporal perifoveal thickening (group 1) and eyes with it (group 2). Multiple regression analysis was used to identify the contribution of foveal sensitivity to the changes of visual acuity; other variables were: center point thickness, center field thickness, temporal perifoveal thickness and macular volume. RESULTS: 60 eyes in group 1, 29 eyes in group 2. Mean sensitivity did no differ between groups (30.0 ± 0.59 vs. 28.4 ± 1.05 dB; p = 0.2), but the correlation between sensitivity and visual acuity did it (group 1, rho: -0.41; group 2, rho: -0.25). In group 1, foveal sensitivity was the only explaining variable of the regression model (beta: -0.52), in group 2 no one explaining variable was included and temporal perifoveal thickness had a negative correlation with foveal sensitivity (rho: -0.60). CONCLUSIONS: Temporal perifoveal thickening reduces the correlation between foveal sensitivity and visual acuity in eyes with diabetic macular edema.


OBJETIVO: Comparar la correlación entre la sensibilidad foveal y la agudeza visual en ojos con edema macular diabético, con y sin engrosamiento temporal perifoveal, característica asociada con mala respuesta terapéutica. MÉTODO: Estudio observacional, prospectivo, comparativo, transversal, en diabéticos con edema macular. Se comparó la correlación entre la sensibilidad foveal y la agudeza visual entre ojos sin (grupo 1) y con (grupo 2) engrosamiento temporal perifoveal (Rho de Spearman). Mediante regresión múltiple se determinó la contribución de la sensibilidad a los cambios de agudeza visual. Se evaluaron también los grosores del punto central y temporal perifoveal, y el volumen macular. RESULTADOS: 60 ojos del grupo 1, 29 ojos del grupo 2. El promedio de sensibilidad no difirió entre grupos (30.0 ± 0.59 vs. 28.4 ± 1.05 dB; p = 0.2), pero la correlación entre sensibilidad y agudeza visual sí (grupo 1, rho: −0.41; grupo 2, rho: −0.25). En el grupo 1, la sensibilidad fue la variable explicativa de la agudeza visual (beta: −0.52); en el grupo 2, ninguna variable se incluyó en el modelo y el grosor temporal perifoveal correlacionó inversamente con la sensibilidad (rho: −0.60). CONCLUSIONES: el engrosamiento temporal perifoveal reduce la correlación entre la agudeza visual y la sensibilidad foveal en ojos con edema macular diabético.
