Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography–detectable central macular thickness changes with perioperative prostaglandin analogs

Abstract

The incidence of subclinical CME detectable on SD-OCT after routine phacoemulsification in patients using PGA eyedrops throughout the perioperative period was 3.3%. There were no cases of clinical CME. These findings might guide clinicians in their decision to use PGAs perioperatively.
