Abstract

Aim

To analyze morphological and functional changes, observe visual outcome, an adverse events in patients of macular edema after Intravitreal injection of dexamethasone implant

Method

Prospective nonrandomized observational study with 30 patients having 1 diabetic macular edema 2 retinal venous occlusion 3 pseudophakic cystoid macular edema

Evaluation done by- 1 history 2 visual acuity 3 slit lamp examination 4 IOP 5 retinal evaluation with indirect ophthalmoscopy and slit lamp 90 diopter bio microscopy 6 optical coherence tomography 7 fundus photo

Result

Improvement was noted in visual acuity after 3 months in patients having diabetic macular edema, retinal vein occlusion and pseudophakic cystoid macular edema after IV dexamethasone implant.

Conclusion

After IV dexamethasone implant in patient having diabetic macular edema, retinal vein occlusion and pseudophakic cystoid macular edema, improvement was observed in visual acuity without any significant adverse events.
