Authors' recommendations: For some patients with DME, VEGF-inhibitors seem to be a more effective short-term treatment than alternative therapies. Evidence is not of sufficient quality to confirm safety. A decision on financing should take into account the high price-difference between the products and the fact that many studies are still ongoing.
