Change in Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) From Baseline to Month 12 [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Mean change in Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) letters at 12 months compared to baseline was measured using Visual acuity (VA). VA accounts for the number of letters a participant can see using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (EDTRS)-like visual acuity testing charts, from a sitting position at a testing distance of 4 meters. BCVA means that the participant's refraction is already taken into account when VA is determined. A higher BCVA number at 12 months in reference to baseline indicates improved BCVA.
Mean change from baseline in BCVA (Best Corrected Visual Acuity) Measure: Visual acuity (ETDRS letters) [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Safety and Efficacy of Ranibizumab in Diabetic Macular Edema
A 12-month, Two-armed, Randomized, Double-masked, Multicenter, Phase IIIb Study Assessing the Efficacy and Safety of Laser Photocoagulation as Adjunctive to Ranibizumab Intravitreal Injections vs. Laser Photocoagulation Monotherapy in Patients With Visual Impairment Due to Diabetic Macular Edema Followed by a 12 Month Follow up Period

This study was designed to confirm the efficacy and safety of laser photocoagulation as adjunctive therapy to ranibizumab 0.5 mg versus laser monotherapy in patients with visual impairment due to Diabetic Macular Edema. A subgroup of patients with Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy were included to evaluate the efficacy and safety of laser photocoagulation as adjunctive therapy to ranibizumab 0.5 mg versus laser monotherapy in this population.
