Background Retinal vascular disorders, such as diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy, retinal hemorrhage, and retinal vein occlusion are significant causes of vision impairment and blindness worldwide. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common retinal vascular disorder and is the leading cause of vision loss among patients aged 25 to 74 years. Aim to compare formulated Posterior Subtenon Triamcinolone acetonide (PSTA) injection versus Posterior Subtenon Triamcinolone acetonide alone versus suprachoroidal triamcinolone in the management of diabetic macular edema.

Triamcinolone Acetonide is a corticosteroid that has antiangiogenic and anti-inflammatory effects that can inhibit the expression of VEGF and other proinflammatory cytokines, improving best-corrected visual acuity and decreasing central retinal thickness (CRT) in patients with macular edema
Formulated Triamcinolone: is triamcinolone and sodium hyaluronate and chondroitin sulfate
