Incidence of cystoid macular edema following scleral buckling procedure
L. A. Lobes Jr and M. G. Grand
Sixty eyes of 58 patients who underwent scleral buckling procedures were
prospectively evaluated with postoperative fluorescein angiograms.
Forty-three percent of these eyes showed angiographic cystoid macular edema
(CME). Aphakic patients showed a 64% incidence of cystect the final visual
acuity of aphakic patients but significantly reduced the visual recovery in
the phakic group. The incidence of CME was not related to preoperative
foveal detachment, duration of aphakia, duration of detachment, surgical
approach, or refraction.
