METHODS 40 cases of vitreous haemorrhage secondary to Eales' disease were taken up for vitrectomy. Depending upon duration of vitreous haemorrhage patients were divided into two groups: Group I (20 eyes) - early vitrectomy group with duration between 3-6 months; Group II (20 eyes) - deferred vitrectomy group with duration of more than 6 months. All patients were followed up for a minimum period...

The authors presented a clinical case of retinitis punctate albescens in a 26-year-old female patient, with a family history of typical retinitis pigmentosa (father) and bilateral cystoid macular edema treated with anti-VEGF (bevacizumab).

Purpose: To assess the association between the features of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescein angiography (FA) in clinically significant diabetic macular edema. Materials and Methods: It was an observational, cross-sectional study conducted at Upgraded Department of Ophthalmology, S.M.S Hospital and Medical College, Jaipur. It involved 181 eyes (100 patients) with clinically sig...

A 63-year-old female on long-term, high-dose tamoxifen treatment for metastatic breast cancer developed bilateral intraretinal refractile opacities, lesions at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium, and cystoid macular oedema.

 Cystoid macular edema is rarely observed secondary to paclitaxel treatment. A 55-year-old female patient was applied five cures of paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy after being diagnosed with metastatic ovarian cancer. The patient had a normal bilateral vision prior to the chemotherapy treatments. After the fifth cure, the patient complained of bilateral vision loss, which was more sever...

Fingolimod is an oral sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator and the first oral therapy for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Its use has been complicated by a low rate of cystoid macular edema usually in the first 3 months after commencement of the medication. We report the case of a 34-year-old male with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, who developed acute anterior uvei...

Sir, C ystoid macular oedema occurs as a frequent complication in diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusions, uveitis and postoperatively in cataract surgery. In general, macular oedema is most prevalent in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) Ischaemia and/or inflammation may pathologically explain the development of macular oedema associated with these disorders. No effective, specific t...

Chronic intraocular inflammation such as chronic uveitis can lead to cystoid macular oedema, papilloedema, and vitreous opacities temporarily or permanently reducing visual acuity. Chronic uveitis has usually been treated by topical or systemic application of steroids. Topical treatment, however, often has not been sufficiently effective to suppress intraocular inflammation and to reduce cystoi...

PURPOSE We aimed to describe the first case of macular edema following intracorporeal injection of alprostadil, a prostaglandin E1. METHODS This was a retrospective case report followed with optical coherence tomography, fundus photos, and fluorescein angiography images. RESULTS A patient developed bilateral cystoid macular edema following intracorporeal injection of alprostadil, a prostagl...
