Five eyes, originally classified in the possible central-involved DME and no non-central involved DME group, were individually examined by the protocol chair due to small numbers in the subgroup and were reclassified into the no central or non-central involved DME (N = 1), no central-involved DME and definite/possible non-central involved DME (N = 1) and the possible central-involved and definite/possible non-central involved DME (N = 3) groups respectively in the analysis

Includes only eyes with gradable non-central subfields at baseline and 16 weeks.
