Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the main cause of vision loss in diabetic patients, its pathogenesis is complicated, and the clinical treatment is not good. DME is extremely harmful to vision. With the deepening of relevant studies, its related pathological mechanism has become more and more clear, and the treatment methods have also changed accordingly. In recent years, the rapid development of intracocular fluid cytokine detection technology has provided a more reasonable explanation of the mechanism of DME and made the choice of treatment more reasonable. However, the acquisition of intraocular fluid is an invasive operation with a certain risk of infection. If the level of relevant cytokines in intraocular fluid can be linked with the relevant imaging indicators, it will provide a better choice for the treatment and prognosis monitoring of DME and reduce the risk of invasive operation, and further clinical studies are needed to explore its correlation in the future.
