Performance Assessment Tests in Working Individuals With DME Following Treatment With Ranibizumab

Inclusion Criteria: * Ability to provide written informed consent and comply with study assessments for the full duration of the study * Age 18 ≤ x ≤ 65 years and currently employed at the baseline study visit * Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (type 1 or 2) o Any one of the following will be considered to be sufficient evidence that diabetes is present: * Current regular use of insulin for treatment of diabetes * Current regular use of oral anti-hyperglycemia agent for the treatment of diabetes * Clinical evidence of retinal thickening due to macular edema involving the center of the macula, associated with diabetic retinopathy. * Central diabetic macular edema present on clinical examination or or evidence indicating disease activity on spectral domain OCT. * Visual acuity score greater than or equal to 19 letters (20/400) and less than or equal to 73 letters (20/40) by the ETDRS visual acuity protocol. * Media clarity, pupillary dilation and patient cooperation sufficient to allow OCT testing and retinal photography Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnancy (positive pregnancy test) or known to be pregnant; also pre-menopausal women not using adequate contraception. * Participation in another ocular investigation or trial simultaneously * Blood pressure \> 180/110 (systolic above 180 OR diastolic above 110) * Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude participation in the study (e.g. chronic alcoholism, drug abuse) * Evidence of vitreoretinal interface abnormality after ocular exam or OCT that may be contributing to the macular edema * An eye that, in the investigator's opinion, has no chance of improving in visual acuity following resolution of macular edema (e.g. presence of subretinal fibrosis or geographic atrophy) * Presence of another ocular condition that may affect the visual acuity or macular edema during the course of the study (e.g. AMD, uveitis, Irvine-Gas) * Evidence of active neovascularization of the iris or retina * Evidence of central atrophy or fibrosis in the study eye * Presence of substantial cataract, one that might decrease the vision by 3 or more lines of vision at sometime during the study. * Previous use of intraocular or periocular corticosteroids in the study eye in the previous 120 days * Previous treatment with anti-angiogenic drugs in the study eye i.e. pegaptanib sodium, bevacizumab, ranibizumab, aflibercept within 120 days prior to baseline * History of vitreous surgery in the study eye * History of cataract surgery within 3 months of enrollment. * History of YAG capsulotomy within 2 months of enrollment. * Visual acuity \<20/400 in the fellow eye * Uncontrolled glaucoma (pressure \>30) despite treatment with glaucoma medications. * History of cerebral vascular accident or myocardial infarction within 3 months prior to Day 0.
