  • The study evaluates the clinical outcomes of cataract surgery in patients with cystoid macular edema (CMO) due to retinal vein occlusions (RVOs), comparing those who had surgery to matched individuals who did not.
  • Results showed a significant improvement in visual acuity (VA) for patients who underwent cataract extraction (+9.9 letters), while the control group experienced a decline (-2.4 letters) after 12 months.
  • Post-surgery, the eyes that had cataract surgery required more injections for treatment on average (5 injections) compared to the controls (4 injections), highlighting a possible increased need for ongoing care after surgery.
