Management of diabetic retinopathy during pregnancy requires special consideration. It is well known that both diabetic retinopathy severity and macular edema can progress during pregnancy. Fluorescein angiography and intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injection are typically avoided in pregnancy; however, specific exceptions do exist. This chapter reviews guidelines for evaluation and the treatment options for diabetic retinopathy and macular edema during pregnancy. The potential adverse effects and complications to consider in pregnancy are outlined.
