    Pseudophakic Cystoid Macular Edema

    Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME) is a common cause of visual impairment after cataract surgery. 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

    Central Serous Choroidopathy

    Introduction Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is one of several chorioretinal disorders characterized by serous detachment of the neurosensory retina and ? or the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). CSC is one of the 10 most common diseases of the posterior segment of the eye and a frequent cause of mild to moderate visual impairment.1 History of the disease2,3,4,5,6 1866 – Von graefe – first described the disease as recurrent serous retinitis. 1916 – Fuch’s work on the disease was appreciated. 1927 – Horniker – named disease as “Central Angiospastic Retinitis” 1930 – Walsh & Sloane – “idiopathic flat detachment of macula” 1930 – Gifford and Marquardt - Theory on Angioneurotic diathesis. 1953 – Klien – theory on autonomic nervous system dysfunction. 1950’s – Bennett & Maumenee – spectrum of macular disciform degeneration. 1955 – Bennett – “central serous retinopathy” 1960’s – Maumenee and Gass – FA appearance of CSC. 1967 – Gass – “central serous choroidopathy” Definition Active CS
