Cataract, Intraocular Pressure, Macular Edema, Retina; Change
Conditions
Brief summary
Changes after suprachoroidal injection are analyzed for statistical analysis.
Detailed description
Changes after suprachoroidal injection of triamcinolone acetonide are noted in various retinal diseases treated by this technique to address its effects over six months of follow-up.
Interventions
Suprachoroidal injection of 4mg/0.1ml of triamcinolone acetonide.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Patients prepared to suprachoroidal injection for various retinal diseases will be enrolled in the study. * Bilateral retinal diseases that required interventions as diabetic macular edema, exudative retinal detachment, and serous chorioretinopathies.
Exclusion criteria
* Other retinal diseases that are not expected to improve after steroid injections as central retinal artery occlusion and age-related macular degenerations. * Choroidal neovascularization that require anti-vascular endothelial growth factors. * Patients refused to have steroid injections even after discussing the nature of their disease with them and the procedure to be done.
