A member asked:
Can you tell me is there any definitive treatment for cystoide macular edema?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: First an evaluation to determine cause must be done, then the caused treated. For the edema, itself eyedrops containing steroids and non-steroid anti-inflammtory agents are used. If this fails to work, then injections of anti-vegf agents, such as avastin, (bevacizumab) can be done. See a retinal specialist for this problem.
