What is Cystoid macular edema?
Macular edema occurs when fluid and protein deposits collect on or under the macula of the eye (a yellow central area of the retina) and causes it to thicken and swell (edema). The swelling may distort a person's central vision, as the macula is near the center of the retina at the back of the eyeball. This area holds tightly packed cones that provide sharp, clear central vision to enable a person to see detail, form, and color that is directly in the direction of gaze.
Macular edema sometimes appears for a few days or weeks after cataract surgery, but most such cases can be successfully treated with NSAID or cortisone eye drops.
