Postoperative cystoid macular oedema (CMO) is a recognised complication of cataract surgery, occurring in around 1.5% of cases. It is generally managed with topical steroids or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications. We present a case of a patient who developed bilateral sequential CMO following bilateral sequential cataract surgery which was non-responsive to topical therapy and worsened following sub-Tenons administration of steroid. The patient took fingolimod for multiple sclerosis both prior to and during the period of cataract surgery which is known to result in the development of macular oedema in some patients. On fingolimod cessation, the oedema resolved over a period of 5 months with good visual recovery. We present this case to inform cataract surgeons of the risk of fingolimod-associated macular oedema in patients undergoing cataract surgery and to inform neurologists of the potential need to adjust treatment for patients undergoing cataract surgery.

Cystoid macular oedema (CMO) is a primary cause of reduced vision after cataract surgery even after uneventful surgery. The incidence of clinical CMO following modern cataract surgery is 1.0-2.0 % but the high number of surgeries performed worldwide makes this entity an important problem. Pre-existing conditions such as diabetes and intra-operative complications increase the risk of developing CMO post-operatively. CMO is caused by an accumulation of intra-retinal fluid in the outer plexiform and inner nuclear layers of the retina, as a result of the breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier. The mechanisms that lead to this condition are not completely understood. However, the principal hypothesis is that the surgical procedure is responsible for the release of inflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandins. Optical coherence tomography is at present an extremely useful non-invasive diagnostic tool. Guidelines for the management CMO should be focused essentially on prevention and are based on the principal pathogenetic mechanisms, including the use of anti-inflammatory drugs.

Abstract Background: To report the prevalence of ocular abnormalities and investigate visual acuity in a large Western China cohort of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients.Methods: A retrospective study was performed, reviewing the medical records and ophthalmic examination reports of 2,127 eyes from 1,065 RP patients in one eye hospital. The authors investigated the prevalence of ocular abnormalities and the relationship between best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and macular abnormalities.Results: Nyctalopia (58.2%) and blurred vision (27.1%) were the leading consultation causes. BCVA measurements in the better eyes at first clinical presentation showed that 304 patients (28.5%) were categorised as blind and 220 patients (20.7%) as low vision. The most common ocular abnormalities were cataracts (43.1%) and macular abnormalities (59.7%), including epiretinal membranes (51.1%), cystoid macular oedema (18.4%), vitreomacular traction syndrome (2.4%), macular holes (2.3%) and choroidal neovascular membranes (0.05%). Glaucoma was found in 35 eyes (1.6%). The proportions of epiretinal membranes (P = 0.001) and macular holes (P = 0.008) increased significantly with age. The proportions of vitreomacular traction syndrome (P = 0.003) and epiretinal membranes (P < 0.001) in pseudophakia and aphakia eyes were significantly higher than in eyes that had not received operations (including cataracts and clear lens). Cystoid macular oedema was significantly associated with poorer visual acuity in RP patients with clear lens (P = 0.002).Conclusion: Cataracts and macular abnormalities are common in RP patients. In the macular abnormalities, cystoid macular oedema may have a negative effect on BCVA in RP patients with clear lens.
