Comparison of the effects between intravitreal and periocular injections of adenoviral vectored pigment epithelium-derived factor on suppressing choroidal neovascularization in rats.

abstract：:Diabetic macular edema is considered the most important factor related to visual impairment in patients with diabetic retinopathy. Together with the use of grid and focal laser photocoagulation, today the intravitreal administration of pharmacotherapies represents the standard of care for the treatment of this complic...
