Özet
Purpose Presentation of a case with ocular hypertension who developed cystoid macular edema (CME) following selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT). Case report A 62-year-old male patient who had undergone phacoemulsification surgery for traumatic cataract 9 years ago was on ocular hypertension treatment for the last 5 years. Due to uncontrolled intraocular pressure and side effect of medications, a 360 degrees SLT was performed. The patient returned with decrased visual acuity 1 week after the procedure. There was CME in the treated eye. It healed completely after topical prednisolone acetate QID and nepafenac QID for 1 week, and no recurrence was observed during follow-ups. Conclusion Cystoid macular edema may occur following SLT treatment in patients with previous traumatic cataract surgery which responds to topical treatment.
