1 Treatment of Pseudophakic CME with a Single Intravitreal Triamcinolone Acetonide Injection Abstract Purpose: To evaluate pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (CME) by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and determine the efficacy of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injections. Methods: In this nonrandomized retrospective study, 10 eyes of 09 patients with persistent pseudophakic CME were treated with single triamcinolone acetonide injection and were followed up for 6 months. All patients underwent complete ophthalmologic examination including determination of best-corrected visual acuity, slit-lamp examination, tonometry, funduscopy and OCT recorded before and after 10, 20 days and 3 months the injection. Results: Visual acuity and value increased in all patients after intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injections. OCT showed improvement of the retinal thickness in the macular area. There was no increase of intraocular pressure. Conclusion: Intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection is a promising therapeutic tool for chronic pseudophakic edema resistant to other medical treatment. However, further study is needed to assess the treatment’s long-term efficacy, its safety, and the need for retreatment. There is no significant difference in the use of acrylic lenses and silicon lens in our results.
