Abstract:
PURPOSE:The purpose of our study was to evaluate the potential efficacy and safety of intravitreal ranibizumab in patients with pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (CME). METHODS:This retrospective study comprised 7 eyes with CME treated with intravitreal ranibizumab. Patients were examined at 1 week and 1 month after injection and monthly thereafter. Main outcome measures included changes in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central retinal thickness (CRT). Safety was assessed by ophthalmic examination and report of systemic adverse effects. RESULTS:There was a statistically significant difference on BCVA (p < 0.001) and CRT (p < 0.001) before and after the ranibizumab injection. One injection appeared to be sufficient for the resolution of CME, while recurrence was observed in 1 patient, in a long-term follow-up. No observable ocular or systemic side effects were found. CONCLUSIONS:Intravitreal ranibizumab seems to be effective and safe for the treatment of pseudophakic CME, demonstrating a statistically significant difference in BCVA as well as CRT.
