| Cystoid Macular Oedema Following Cataract Surgery (OCT) | |
| Image showing optical coherence tomography-image of a cystoid macular oedema after 6 months of a regular cataract surgery. The OCT-image presents the cystoid macular oedema (CMO) as an accumulation of fluid in the central retina (the macula) due to leakage from dilated capillaries. The visual acuity was 0.6. 70 years of age, female, R/L secondary open angle glaucoma, cataract corticalis. A cataract surgery was performed in January 2010 without any intraoperative complications. Two months after surgery we found a cystoid macular edema with a strong decrease of visual acuity. After a therapy of topical steroids and systemic Carboanhydrase inhibitor the cystoid macular edema diminuished. The final visual acuity was 1.0.
