Intraocular lens implant exchange and resolution of cystoid macular edema.
Cystoid macular edema is a recognized complication of cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation with an incidence of 5.2% to 50.0%. We have recently performed lens implant exchange in an eye with cystoid macular edema which suffered recurrent hyphema (UGH syndrome). In addition to resolution of the patient's recurrent hyphema, we observed the resolution of cystoid macular edema in this eye.
