Abstract
Postoperative macular oedema (MO), better known as Irvine-Gass syndrome, remains an important cause of visual acuity loss (VAL) after cataract surgery. Macular oedema (MO) is a thickening of the macular retina due to the accumulation of fluid and proteins in retinal tissue. Irvine Gass syndrome is a type of MO that can complicate cataract surgery. The frequency of occurrence of Irvine-Gass is significantly increased in case of capsular rupture or diabetic, uvetic context surgery or a history of venous occlusion. This is a descriptive study involving 100 eyes operated on for cataracts by phacoemilification in the adult ophthalmology department of the Avicenne Marrakech Military Hospital. The purpose of this work is to study the epidemiological profile, clinical, paraclinical, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of MO after phacoemulsification.
