Written for comprehensive ophthalmologists and vitreoretinal surgeons this book discusses
state-of-the-art medical and surgical management of cystoid macular edema (CME) and explains
the current understanding of the pathophysiology of the condition and methods of diagnosis. The
management approach is clearly detailed for each potential presentation including CME
occurring in association with uveitis diabetes mellitus vitreoretinal interface changes
retinal vascular occlusions and lens-induced pathology. The guidance takes full account of the
continued expansion in medical treatment options due to the development of new drugs and the
increased availability of minimally invasive surgical procedures. Additionally since
therapeutic approaches to CME depend on a clear understanding of pathophysiologic mechanisms
and the structural changes in the vitreous and neurosensory retina revealed by imaging studies
these aspects are carefully considered as well.
