Pseudophakic Cystoid Macular Lesions After Uncomplicated Standard Phacoemulsification
Conditions
Brief summary
To assess the incidence, risk factors and clinical courses of cystic macular lesions (CMLs) after uncomplicated phacoemulsification and evaluate the efficacy of topical NSAIDs on the prevention of pseudophakic cystic macular lesions
Detailed description
344 Patients undergoing uncomplicated standard phacoemulsification at Kyungpook National University Hospital from 2013 to 2015 were reviewed. CMLs, which is any cystic fluid collections after cataract surgery, were confirmed by preoperative and postoperative optical coherence tomography(OCT) on preoperative, postoperative 1month and 3months examinations. CMLs were classified into two groups: cystic macular edema(CME) and microcystic macular edema(MME).
