[Cystoid macular edema in pseudophakia]

One hundred and eighty six patients (217 eyes) after cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation were analyzed in search of cystoid macular oedema. In general--9 cases of cystoid macular oedema were found, among them 5 patients after intracapsular cataract extraction with implantation of an anterior chamber lens (9.8 p.c.) and 4 after extracapsular cataract extraction with implantation of a posterior chamber lens (2.7 p.c.). One could observe a beneficial influence of a prophylactic application of indomethacin compounds in order to lessen the incidence of the macular oedema.
