Objective: To determine if visual acuity improves in 9 letters or more after intravitreal injection of bevacizumab in diabetic macular edema. Method: This study corresponds to an observational, analytical, retrospective cohort design. A total of 78 patients with a clinical diagnosis of diabetic macular edema treated at the Retina service of the Regional Ophthalmological Institute of Trujillo for 12 months were included. Clinical data was recorded. Results: Visual Acuity improved in 9 letters or more a year of bevacizumab treatment in 44% of eyes, 33% of eyes improved 1 to 4 letters, 23% gained 5 to 8 letters, and 30% won as minimum 15 letters. Prior to treatment with bevacizumab 55.1% of eyes had severe visual deficit, 29.5% of eyes had moderate visual deficit and 15.4% of eyes had mild visual deficit. At one year of treatment, 23.1% of eyes had severe visual deficit, 44.9% had moderate visual deficit, 20.5% had mild visual deficit and 11.5% achieved normal visual acuity. Conclusions: Visual acuity did not improve in at least 9 letters in more than 50% of patients, however in 55.2% of eyes the degree of visual deficit decreased.
