[Prevention of cystoid macular edema using indomethacin eye drops].
The effect of 1% Indomethacine solution on the development of post-operative macular edema was examined. Starting from the day of the operation, the patients received 1 drop of either the solution or the placebo 4 times daily for 3 months. Using fluorescein angiography it was demonstrated that post-operative macular edema developed with a significantly lower incidence in patients treated with the prostaglandine inhibitor Indomethacin than in the control group. There was no noticeable difference between the 2 groups with regard to side-effects.
