Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate prospectively the incidence of cystoid macular edema (following CME) after cataract surgery including intraocular lens implants. The 35 subjects (50 eyes) were from 40 to 80 years of age. Patients with systemic disease such as diabetes mellitus and ocular disease were excluded. In addition, axial length and operation time were unified to reduce influence to CME as much as possible. Fluorescein leakage from the macular was evaluated according to Miyake's classification using fluorescein angiography (following FA) three months after cataract surgery. There were no postoperative complications ; a total of 50 eyes were subjects of evaluation. The incidence of angiographic CME was 22% in this study. It was higher than clinical CME. It is more precise and important to invest prospectively controlled cases.
