The American Academy of Ophthalmology Preferred Practice Patterns defines Cystoid Macular Edema (CME) as retinal thickening of the macula due to a disruption of the normal blood-retinal barrier; this causes leakage from the perifoveal retinal capillaries and accumulation of fluid within the intracellular spaces of the retina, primarily in the ...

2023年10月16日 · Cystoid macular edema is a type of swelling (edema) that happens in your macula. Your macula is the central part of your retina. It plays an important role in your sight because it’s responsible for your central vision. It helps you see color and fine details, like individual bricks on buildings or leaves on trees.

2024年9月11日 · Cystoid macular edema (CME) is an eye condition that affects part of your retina. It is when the macula becomes swollen and tiny blisters of fluid form that look like small cysts. The macula gives you your central vision.

2024年9月23日 · Macular edema happens when fluid builds up in the macula, causing swelling. This can distort vision, making things look blurry and colors look washed out. Without treatment, macular edema can even lead to permanent vision loss. Macular edema is caused by pockets of fluid (usually leakage from damaged blood vessels) swelling up in the macula.

Macular edema refers to an abnormal blister of fluid in the layers of the macula. From the side, it looks like the snake that ate too much. Like a droplet of water on your computer screen, the swollen retina distorts images—making it more difficult to see clearly.

Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (CME), also known as Irvine-Gass syndrome, is one of the most common causes of visual loss after cataract surgery.

We review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and etiology of cystoid macular edema (CME). Inflammatory, diabetic, post-cataract, and macular edema due to age-related macular degeneration is described. The role of chronic inflammation and hypoxia and direct macular traction is evaluated in each case according to different views from the literature.

What Is Cystoid Macular Edema (CME)? Cystoid macular edema or CME, is a painless disorder which affects the central retina or macula. When this condition is present, multiple cyst-like (cystoid) areas of fluid appear in the macula and cause retinal swelling or edema.

We review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and etiology of cystoid macular edema (CME).

2024年8月27日 · What Causes Cystoid Macular Edema? The most common culprit for cystoid macular edema (CME) is cataract surgery. Up to 20% of people who have the operation get it. Usually, it happens within...
