The investigators investigate intraocular concentrations and pharmacokinetics of erythropoietin after a single intravitreal injection in humans.
Intravitreal injections of erythropoietin for off-label use have been shown to be beneficial in eyes with diabetic macular edema.However, the pharmacokinetic profile of erythropoietin after intravitreal injection in humans has not yet been determined clearly. The purpose of this study was to determine the intraocular pharmacokinetics of erythropoietin after a single intravitreal injection in a prospective investigation.

| Concentration of erythropoietin in aqueous humor | erythropoietin injections had been performed in our department following standard procedures. In selected cases,vitrectomy was performed one to two days after erythropoietin injection to treat diabetic macular edema.During surgery, aqueous humor samples were obtained via a corneal paracentesis anterior to the limbus at the beginning of the procedure. | a few seconds |
