Cystoid macular edema after pediatric intraocular lens implantation: fluorescein angioscopy results and literature review

Abstract

Cystoid macular edema did not occur in the early period after pediatric cataract surgery using current surgical techniques. Longer follow-up is required to ascertain the incidence of CME in the late postoperative period.

Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography measurements of central foveal thickness before and after cataract surgery in children

“…Previous studies of the incidence of macular edema after pediatric cataract surgery used fluorescein angiography and were not longitudinal (Table 1). [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] The purpose of the present study was to use spectral-domain ocular coherence tomography (SD-OCT) to compare preoperative and postoperative changes in macular thickness in pediatric eyes in which cataract surgery was performed.…”

Effect of intracameral epinephrine use on macular thickness after uneventful phacoemulsification

“…5,6 The accompanying intraretinal fluid accumulation is associated with retinal thickening and cyst formation, which can be identified on biomicroscopy, optical coherence tomography (OCT), retinal thickness analysis, or fluorescein angiography. 5,7 The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of intracameral epinephrine on central macular thickness in eyes having uneventful cataract surgery.…”

Management of paediatric traumatic cataract by epilenticular intraocular lens implantation: long-term visual results and postoperative complications

“…27 However, these are associated with complications like retinal detachment, 14 IOL dislocation, and rarely cystoid macular oedema. 28 Moreover, some surgeons are reluctant to disturb the vitreous phase during lens implantation. Fibrinous uveitis is a common postoperative complication after cataract surgery in children.…”
