Triamcinolone pseudo-cataract.
This is an interventional case report of a pseudo-cataract formation by the adherence of triamcinolone particles to the posterior surface of the lens following a 2-mg intravitreal injection for treatment of macular edema associated with non-ischemic central retinal vein occlusion. These deposits unusually persisted beyond 6 months.
