Research advance of peudophakic cystoid macular edema
Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema(PCME),also known as Irvine-Gass syndrome,is the most common cause of unexpected visual loss after cataract surgery.Diabetes mellitus,epiretinal mem-brane,prostaglandin analogues are its risk factors.It's widely accepted that inflammation is the leading pathological mechanism,some cytokines and immune-relatedfactors may contribute to the pathological process.As for the prophylactic and treatment,besides the conventional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug(NSA1D)and steroid,new researches indicate that intraoperative intracameral phenylephrine-ketorolac,subtenon/subconjunctival steroid,dexamethasone implant or triamcinolone acetonide,postoperative intra-canalicular corticosteroids,yellow subthreshold micropulse laser achieve promising outcome.(Int Rev Oph-thalmol,2024,48:210-216)
