Medical Forum / General / Vision / February 2006Cystoid Macular Edema
In May of 2003 I had a cataract operation involving a vitrectomy. In September of that year I developed CME and it resolved about a year later, during the course of which I used Voltaren for most of that time. I had a simliar operation in the other eye last August, and guess what? Well, I have an appointment scheduled with Dr. Buys (Kaiser) tomorrow. I am apprehensive over the possibility that he will think a month or two of treatment is sufficient. So I'm checking for Dr. Robins' messages on this subject in the archive; I'd like to print one or two of them out and have them with me tormorrow.  SignatureRobert T. Kopp http://analytic.tripod.com Hello, When the CME resolved, how was your vision? I ave developed CME, post cataract for about 5 months, the drops seem to all irritate my eye so my MD's have stopped them and advised to wait and see... > Hello, When the CME resolved, how was your vision?

It took about a year to reach that level, after the symptoms first appeared. Voltaren stings, but I don't think it should be discontinued for that reason. Patience is needed. SignatureRobert T. Kopp http://analytic.tripod.com Thank you, How was your contrast sensitivity, before / after, that seems to be the biggest impact right now. My MD has prescribed Nevanac for the next attempt. Do you have any experience with this drug? > Thank you, How was your contrast sensitivity, before / after, that > seems to be the biggest impact right now. My MD has prescribed Nevanac > for the next attempt. Do you have any experience with this drug? It was very bad, and improved along with acuity. It appeared that text was blending into the background. I have no knowledge of Nevanac, unless it is another name for Ocular, another NSAID used for this purpose. SignatureRobert T. Kopp http://analytic.tripod.com Thank you for you answer, this is a very frustrating condition to track and cure, I tried Acular and experienced symptoms of corneal edema after approx 1 1/2 weeks Did you develop CME in the other eye?, My understanding is that if you have it in one eye you have a very high chance of developing it in the other eye > Thank you for you answer, this is a very frustrating condition to track > and cure, I tried Acular and experienced symptoms of corneal edema [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > have it in one eye you have a very high chance of developing it in the > other eye Yes. The reason why I waited so long after the first operation to get the second surgery done is because I expected the condition to develop in the other eye as well, which it did. SignatureRobert T.
