Excerpt
We thank Dan and Mihai Călugăru for their letter and interest in our article [
1]. In the study we presented, we included patients with visual impairment secondary to
center involving diabetic macula edema (DME) (in our paper, we used this term to define central retinal subfield-thickness of more than 300 μm measured with spectral-domain OCT (see Methods section) . We used well-established inclusion criteria that are commonly used in DME trials: central retinal thickness (CRT) > 300 μm in spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) 20/25–20/400 Snellen equivalent. …
