Abstract

SummaryEye salvaging treatment of uveal melanomas are commonly associated with the development of cystoid macular edema. The extend and severity of this complication is associated with the size and location of the tumour treated. Tumours that are located closer to the fovea and are larger in size bear a higher risk of developing CME. Different treatment strategies have been employed to address this issue. Laser coagulation of the ischemic retinal areas, surgical removal of the initiating tumour, and more recently pharmacological concepts either by anti‐VEGF agents, or by intravitreal steroid applications have been proposed as potential treatment options for this problem.
