Purpose To evaluate the use of subthreshold micropulse laser (SMPL) in the prevention and management of mild diabetic macular oedema (DME). Methods This prospective, randomised and sham-controlled study included 159 eyes (123 patients) with diabetic retinopathy, central retinal thickness (CRT) ≤ 325 μm, and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ≥ 80 ETDRS letters. The participants were assigned to either SMPL treatment (n = 103) or sham therapy (n = 56).

I’m trying to put into perspective how overwhelmingly ridiculous that swim is. In the very first article I wrote for SwimSwam, I talked a bit about how much certain people dropped records by. It was only looking at LCM events, but the takeaway was that taking 3% off a record is a tremendous amount of time that’s only happened 12 times in the modern era – by people that we consider truly legendary in their respective events (Phelps, Peirsol, Mary T, Tom Jager, etc.).
