EVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF TOPICAL INTERFERON α2b AS A COMPLEMENTARY TREATMENT OF MACULAR EDEMA OF PATIENTS WITH DIABETIC RETINOPATHY: A Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Randomized Clinical Trial Study

Conclusion: This study evaluated the short-term effects of topical IFNα2b 1 MU/mL. The drug was well tolerated and may have an effect on improvement of best-corrected visual acuity in patients with diabetic macular edema. It also had an intraocular pressure lowering effect on the studied eyes. However, further studies are needed to confirm this finding.
