Purpose:
To define the effectiveness of dexamethasone implant in macular edema in vitrectomized eyes.
Methods:
Two eyes of 2 patients, (one with diabetic macular edema, the other with macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion) who had been treated with intravitreal anti-VEGFs, triamcinolone, laser photocoagulations and vitrectomy + ILM peeling earlier without any response, were treated with IV dexamethasone implant as a salvage therapy.
Effectiveness:
Both eyes responded well to the implant both anatomically and functionally.
Take Home Message:
IV dexamethasone implant may be a good treatment choice for treatment of resistant macular edema in vitrectomized eyes.
