Clinical evaluation of the effectiveness of complex instillation anti-inflammatory therapy for postoperative cystoid macular edema (case series analysis)

Background. Postoperative cystoid macular edema (CME) is a complication of surgical treatment of various eye diseases and is caused by the development of an aseptic inflammatory reaction. The lack of a universal treatment regimen for CME necessitates the development of therapeutic methods for this complication. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a combination anti-inflammatory treatment regimen for postoperative CME. Material and Methods. This study presents a series of 8 clinical cases. All patients received treatment according to the developed regimen using steroidal and non-steroidal antiinflammatory drops. Results. In all cases, improvements in visual function and retinal anatomical condition were achieved. Conclusion. The proposed CME treatment regimen has demonstrated efficacy and is recommended for use and further study in a larger sample of patients.
