Intravitreal dexamethasone implant for cystoid macular edema and inflammation after scleral buckling.

Purpose: Cystoid macular edema may occur following scleral buckling and therefore deteriorate the visual outcome. Inflammation may be the major causative factor in the development of postoperative cystoid macular edema. This case demonstrates the effectiveness of a dexamethasone implant as a treatment after the onset of choroidal inflammation and cystoid macular edema 6 months following scleral buckling and having visual acuity restored.

Artificial iris-intraocular lens implantation for traumatic aniridia and aphakia assisted by silicone oil retention sutures.

Unlabelled: An 83-year-old pseudophakic woman fell and sustained an open-globe injury to her left eye with traumatic aniridia, aphakia, and a total retinal detachment. Visual acuity was light perception. After primary repair of the ruptured globe, the retina was reattached using silicone oil tamponade with placement of silicone oil retention sutures to prevent the oil from touching the corneal endothelium.

Radiation Macular Edema after Ru-106 Plaque Brachytherapy for Choroidal Melanoma Resolved by an Intravitreal Dexamethasone 0.7-mg Implant.

Purpose: To report the effective treatment of radiation macular edema following ruthenium-106 plaque brachytherapy for a choroidal melanoma with a dexamethasone 0.7-mg (Ozurdex(®)) intravitreal implant.

Methods: An interventional case report with optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans.
