Objective:
To evaluate the management of cystoid macular edema (CME) in patients with a history of infectious retinitis.
Approach:
- Study Design: Retrospective review of 53 eyes in 44 patients at Emory Eye Center.
- Treatment Methods: Primarily used topical steroid drops; local and systemic steroids were used less frequently due to concerns about disease reactivation.
Key Findings:
- 75% of eyes (40/53) achieved resolution of CME by the follow-up period.
- 8 additional eyes showed marked improvement.
- No cases of disease reactivation were observed.
- Intraocular pressure increased in a few patients but was managed with observation or drops.
Interpretation:
Limitations:
- Study is retrospective and lacks strict guidelines for treatment.
- Findings are based on a relatively small sample size.
