Abstract

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single perioperative sub-Tenon's injection of triamcinolone following cataract surgery and its effect on the incidence of early pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (CME). Ophthalmology Department, Queen's Medical Centre University Hospital, Nottingham. United Kingdom. This prospective randomized controlled trial included 54 eyes (54 patients) having routine cataract surgery. Twenty-seven eyes received the conventional postoperative care with steroid drops (drops group), whereas the other 27 were given a perioperative sub-Tenon's injection of triamcinolone (injection group); 10 of these received 20 mg, and the remaining 17 eyes had 30 mg triamcinolone. All patients were evaluated preoperatively and at days 1, 8, 30, and 90. The outcome measures evaluated were logMAR best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), anterior chamber flare (Kowa-500 flare meter), intraocular pressure, and slitlamp biomicroscopy. Oral fluorescein angiograms were performed at 30 and 90 days to detect angiographic CME. The mean logMAR BCVA improved from a baseline of 0.38 +/- 0.38 (SD) and 0.44 +/- 0.26 to 0.02 +/- 0.14 and 0.0 +/- 0.07 at 90 days in the steroid drops and injection groups, respectively. (P = .59). The mean ...Continue Reading
