It was just that you mentioned macular oedema (which doesn't cause vitreous haemorrhage) but didn't mention proliferative diabetic retinopathy or PDR (which can cause vitreous haemorrhages).  I know you mentioned laser, but there are different types and sometimes macular oedema is treated with macular laser. The type used for PDR is called PRP (pan-retinal photocoagulation) and is applied to the periphery of the retina. There is some good information about injections for macular oedema here:-<a href="http://www.diabeticretinopathy.org.uk/lucentispatientsdr.htm" target="_blank">http://www.diabeticretinopathy.org.uk/lucentispatientsdr.htm</a> and good information about laser treatment here:- <a href="http://www.diabeticretinopathy.org.uk/laserdiabetic_retinopathy.html" target="_blank">http://www.diabeticretinopathy.org.uk/laserdiabetic_retinopathy.html</a></blockquote>
