*

One case related to study drug injection in the ranibizumab+focal/grid/PRP laser group.

All had tractional detachment except two eyes had unspecified retinal detachment (one by 14-week visit and one after 14-week visit)

All were for PDR

||

Excludes eyes with intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering medications at baseline.
