This study is being conducted to assess the effects of topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) on macular retinal volume compared with placebo in eyes with non-central diabetic macular edema (DME). A secondary objective of this study is to assess the effects of topical NSAIDs on central subfield thickness and to compare the progression of non-central DME to central DME as determined by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and stereoscopic fundus photographs. Furthermore, this phase II study is being conducted (1) to determine whether the conduct of a phase III trial has merit based on an anatomic outcome, (2) to estimate recruitment potential of a phase III investigation, and (3) to provide information on outcome measures needed to design a phase III trial. The study is not designed to establish the efficacy of NSAIDs in the treatment of non- central DME.
