Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  NEPAFENAC 0.1% EYE DROPS  Nepafenac (Alcon Research, Ltd., Fort Worth, TX), is a topical NSAID which rapidly permeates through the cornea and gains intra-ocular entry. It is then converted to its active metabolite, amfenac, primarily in the retina-choroid and the iris-ciliary body. Amfenac is a potent inhibitor of constitutive (cyclooxygenase-1) and inducible (cyclooxygenase-2) cyclooxygenases that catalyze the formation of proinflammatory prostaglandins. Nepafenac 0.1 % eye drops to be instill three times a day for 6 months 
Intervention  NEPAFENAC 0.3 % EYE DROPS  Nepafenac (Alcon Research, Ltd., Fort Worth, TX), is a topical NSAID which rapidly permeates through the cornea and gains intra-ocular entry. It is then converted to its active metabolite, amfenac, primarily in the retina-choroid and the iris-ciliary body. Amfenac is a potent inhibitor of constitutive (cyclooxygenase-1) and inducible (cyclooxygenase-2) cyclooxygenases that catalyze the formation of proinflammatory prostaglandins. Nepafenac 0.3 % eye drops to instill once a day for 6 months

Brief Summary   IN THIS STUDY WE WILL COMPARE NEPAFENAC 0.1% EYE DROPS AND NEPAFENAC 0.3% EYE DROPS IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETIC MACULAR EDEMA. PATIENTS MEETING THE INCLUSION CRITERIA WILL BE RECRUITED IN THE STUDY WITH CONSENT AND WILL BE RANDOMIZED IN TO 2 GROUP. GROUP 1 WILL RECEIVE NEPAFENAC 0.1 % EYE DROPS, TO BE INSTILLED IN TO AFFECTED EYE THREE TIMES A DAYS FOR SIX MONTHS. GROUP 2 WILL RECEIVE NEPAFENAC 0.3% EYE DROPS, TO BE INSTILLED IN TO AFFECTED EYE ONCE DAILY FOR SIX MONTHS. BASELINE MACULAR THICKNESS WILL BE COMPARED FOR ALL THE PATIENT ON RECRUITMENT OF THE PATIENT IN THE SUTDY AND PATIENT WILL BE FOLLOWED FOR 6 MONTHS ON 1ST, 4TH AND SIXTH MONTH VISIT. IN ALL THE VISITS MACULAR THICKENESS WILL BE RECORED AND WILL BE COMPARED WITH BASE LINE MACULAR THICKENESS. FINALLY TWO GROUPS WILL COMPARED IN TERMS OF REDUCTION OF MACULAR THICKENESS. MACULAR THICKNESS WILL BE RECORDED BY INVESTIGATION KNOW AS OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY. BASELINE VISUAL ACUTIY WILL ASLO BE RECORDED USING EDTRS CHART AND WILL BE COMPARED IN SUBSEQUENT VISITS.
