Cystoid macular edema after vitrectomy and after phacovitrectomy for epiretinal membrane

CONCLUSIONS: IMT, that is suspected to be a type of CME, was not uncommon (15.4%) after phacovitrectomy in phakic eyes but was uncommon (4.8%) after vitrectomy alone in pseudophakic eyes. Irvine-Gass syndrome appears to be triggered by crystalline lens removal itself rather than intraocular surgery or surgical trauma alone.PMID:38145628 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcjo.2023.11.020
