Post-Surgical Retinal Oedema

What is it and how is it treated

Macular Edema is a complication of certain diseases of the retina such as Diabetic Retinopathy, Retinal Vascular Occlusions, or in some cases could also be the undesirable secondary effect.

One cause of inflammation is Cystoid Macular Oedema (PCME, Pseudophakic Cystoid Macular Oedema). The pathogenesis of cystoid macular Oedema, even if not completely known, seems to be related to alteration in the blood-retinal barrier as a consequence of the release of inflammation mediators.
