(Yau et al., 2012) The primary cause contributing to loss of vision in diabetic patient is diabetic macular oedema (DME).(Williams et al., 2004) Hard exudates are deposits of lipo-protein that is build up as a result of a disintegration of the inner BRB.(Zhou et al. 2018) Aim of The Study Assessment of visual acuity (VA) in patient with diabetic macular oedema with foveal hard exudates Patients and Methods The study was a case control study. The study included 100 eyes from 100 DME patients that divided into 2 groups. The study was conducted at Ophthalmology department, Minia University Hospital in Egypt between february 2022 and August 2022. Results Presence of hard exudates in fovea in DME was associated with significant decrease of BCVA so Presence of hard exudates in fovea in DME was a bad prognostic sign for DME. Conclusion Presence of hard exudates in fovea in DME affected macular function determined by BCVA and it was a bad prognostic sign for DME. | ||
