Ophthalmologists are bound by the Hippocratic oath, " first do no harm". When macula oedema first starts, the ophthalmologist has to balance the risk of treatment against the risks of not treating. With good glucose and blood pressure control macular oedema can improve and treatment may not be necessary. Scheduling shorter times between appointments allows treatment to be started as soon as it is necessary but not before.There is some good information about Eylea here: <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.eylea.co.uk/static/documents/EYLEA_DMO_Patient_Guide_Update_2015.pdf&ved=0CB4QFjACOApqFQoTCJyt5oit_8gCFQR0Dwodt2II0Q&usg=AFQjCNF-LnQeFiWVCe7MjtG6IQF-G-HwiQ&sig2=WAA8vfhdyTsp9S-7f9LEtA" target="_blank">https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.eylea.co.uk/static/documents/EYLEA_DMO_Patient_Guide_Update_2015.pdf&ved=0CB4QFjACOApqFQoTCJyt5oit_8gCFQR0Dwodt2II0Q&usg=AFQjCNF-LnQeFiWVCe7MjtG6IQF-G-HwiQ&sig2=WAA8vfhdyTsp9S-7f9LEtA</a></blockquote>
