Alimera Sciences. Month 33 Month 36 n = 119 215 209 7 55 67 Conclusions ILUVIEN significantly increases the percentage of patients who achieve 3-line or greater improvement in BCVA in a DME population previously treated with at least one laser with center-involved edemaApproximately three-fourths of these patients were able to achieve significant visual benefit with a single insert over 3 yearsConcomitant administration of laser or intravitreally administered therapies was performed in patients with more severe disease and was well toleratedILUVIEN was associated with an increase in IOPChanges in IOP appear to be reversible and consistent with the reduction in aqueous concentration of FAc as the insert depletes over timeA majority of patients were controlled with topical medications or laser trabeculoplasty, based on a quarterly visit scheduleRemoval of the implant seems to allow the IOP to return to normal levels Acknowledgments The FAME Study GroupThe 956 patients and their caregivers who participated in the study101 sites, investigators, coordinators and staff in North America, Europe, and IndiaWisconsin Fundus Photograph Reading CenterBernie McCary - Endothelial Cell Count Reading CenterCROs: Chiltern, EMMES, SIRO, CovanceAlimera Sciences, IncpSivida Corp I want to thank the following
