Cystoid macular oedema following retinal detachment surgery

5 April 2022 | | EYE - Cataract, EYE - Refractive | Cystoid macular edema, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, vitreoretinal surgery
There are limited studies examining the incidence and risk factors for postoperative cystoid macular oedema (CMO) following rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair. Postoperative CMO is thought to be due to pro-inflammatory state, where numerous cytokines lead to tight junction dysfunction,...
