This article systematically reviews and discusses the epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment of PCME, with a focus on advances in the past 1–2 years.In 1953, Irvine described a cystoid macular edema (CME) that specifically arised after cataract surgery.1 Gass and Norton subsequently studied the characteristics of the new disease entity with fluorescein angiography.2,3 Despite advances in cataract surgery, cystoid macular oedema (CMO) is still recognised as one of the most common causes of poor visual outcome following cataract surgery.4 Clinical cystoid macular edema(CCME) produces a variable degree of eyesight deterioration, in a percentage between 0.2 and 13%of patients operated for cataract with or without complications.5,6,7 Studies have shown that 12% of patients may have retinal thickening following uncomplicated cataract surgery.8 Retinal thickening most commonl
