Abstract
One hundred eyes in 98 patients were studied by fluorescein angiography and stereo color photography six weeks after successful scleral buckling surgery. Twenty-five percent of 67 phakic eyes and 40% of 33 aphakic eyes demonstrated cystoid macular edema. Older phakic patients were at significantly greater risk to develop cystoid macular edema than younger phakic patients. Seventeen percent of successfully repaired eyes demonstrated distortion of the macula by preretinal membranes; 16 of these 17 eyes showed leakage of fluorescein dye into the surrounding retina sometimes also causing cystoid edema. Either cystoid macular edema or macular distortion was present in 38% of the phakic eyes and 64% of the phakic eyes after successful retinal detachment surgery.
