“…All of these patients were on Latanoprost 0.005% eye drops prior to surgery, which might be a risk factor for these complications. Latanoprost therapy enhances disruption of the blood-aqueous barrier and increases the incidence of angiographic CME [17,18].…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of phacoemulsification and viscogoniosynechialysis in the management of patients with chronic angle-closure glaucoma (CACG). Fifty-six eyes of 45 recruited patients were classified into two groups: group 1 had medically controlled CACG (IOP 21 mmHg with maximum tolerated medications) including 21 eyes. All of the patients had at least one quadrant without peripheral anterior synechia in gonioscopy. After phacoemulsification, a viscoelastic agent was used for viscogoniasynecialysis. Success was defined as IOP

“…Agange et al presented a case report of a glaucomatic patient who developed recurrent CME with three separate trials of three different prostaglandins after uncomplicated cataract surgery. Other studies have also reported same findings (Yeh & Ramanathan, 2002;Altintaş et al, 2005;Panteleontidis et al, 2010). In a study conducted in our institution, we prospectively examined macular thickness alterations after uncomplicated phacoemulsification in four different groups of patients.…”

“…Mediator agents such as prostaglandins can cause leakage of perifoveal capillaries, which can lead to accumulation of fluid in the outer retinal layers [10,11]. However, postoperative CME may be seen as a result of persistent traction upon the fovea from an attached posterior hyaloid [12].…”

Which procedure has more effect on macular thickness: primary posterior continuous capsulorhexis (PPCC) combined with phacoemulsification or Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy?

To compare the effect of Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy and primary posterior continuous capsulorhexis (PPCC) combined with phacoemulsification on macular thickness using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in adults. This prospective comparative interventional study included 32 eyes of 30 patients who underwent Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy and 33 eyes of 33 patients who underwent cataract surgery with PPCC. Detailed ocular examinations, including macular thickness measurements by OCT, were performed in all patients preoperatively and postoperatively on the 1st day, 1st week, and 1st, 3rd and 6th months. No significant differences were found in macular thickness between the two groups in preoperative and postoperative follow-up. No cystoid changes were observed in OCT during the postoperative period in both groups. Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy and PPCC combined with cataract surgery are safe and effective procedures that are not associated with an increase in macular thickness.

Cystoid Macular Edema Associated with Latanoprost after Uncomplicated Cataract Surgery

Abstract: Until a causal relationship between CME and latanoprost is proved or disproved, caution in its use in pseudophakic patients would be prudent.
