About this study

Pseudophakic cystoid edema represents one of the most common causes of poor visual outcome following cataratta surgery.

It is still source of debate the pathogenesis of Pseudophakic cystoid edema. Optical coherence tomography angiography represents a novel and non-invasive diagnostic technique that allows a detailed analysis of retinal vascular features. The study evaluates retrospectively the changes in optical coherence tomography angiography parameters at baseline and after three monthly after surgery.

Inclusion criteria

  • age older than 60 years
  • diagnosis of pseudophakic cystoid macular oedema
  • treatment-naïve for pseudophakic cystoid macular oedema
  • absence of other ocular diseases, responsible for macular edema (retinal vein occlusion, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration)

Exclusion criteria

  • age younger than 60 years
  • No diagnosis of pseudophakic cystoid macular oedema

Treatment and study plan

OCTA and pseudophakin cystoid edema

Diagnostic Test

Patients underwent OCT angiografia after cataract surgery

Primary outcomes

  1. OCTA and pseudophakic cystoid macular oedema
