Cystoid macular edema (CME) after cataract surgery is a common complication with a reported incidence of 0.1–2.35%.
Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (CME) is swelling of the retina that can occur weeks or years after cataract surgery and typically results in decreased vision. Subconjunctival injections are injections placed just beneath the clear membrane (conjunctiva) of the eye.
Sometimes the macula becomes swollen with fluid. When any tissue of the body becomes swollen with fluid, the condition is called edema. When this happens to the macula, the edema fluid typically combines in cyst-like patterns; this condition is called cystoid macular edema.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology Preferred Practice Patterns defines Cystoid Macular Edema (CME) as retinal thickening of the macula due to a disruption of the normal blood-retinal barrier; this causes leakage from the perifoveal retinal capillaries and accumulation of fluid within the intracellular spaces of the ...
After modern small-incision cataract surgery in healthy individuals, CME has been reported as high as 19% using fluorescein angiography criteria, but as low as 0.82% using visual acuity and OCT findings.
Overview. Pseudophakic cystoid macular oedema (PCMO) is a common complication following both uncomplicated and complicated cataract surgery, becoming apparent about 6 weeks following surgery. PCMO may be asymptomatic in some cases, but in others is associated with a reduction in visual acuity.
Post-Cataract Swelling It is normal for the cornea to swell during the first few days after cataract surgery. Cornea swelling or corneal edema may cause some short-term blurriness. Normally, swelling will subside within a few days and vision becomes clear. Rarely, corneal swelling may not improve.
Diabetes mellitus, retinal vein occlusion, epiretinal membrane, macular hole, and uveitis are the most important risk factors for developing cystoid macular edema after cataract surgery. Topical NSAIDs either in addition to, or instead of, topical corticosteroids reduce the risk of developing PCME.
Conclusion: In diabetic patients with macular edema and visually significant cataract, combined treatment with phacoemulsification and DEX-I seemed to be effective, safe, and superior to standard phacoemulsification considering both functional and tomographic parameters.
Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (CME), also known as Irvine-Gass syndrome, is one of the most common causes of visual loss after cataract surgery.
