Efficacy of combined topical nepafenac 0.3% with suprachoroidal injection of triamcinolone acetonide using a modified custom needle in pseudopkakic cystoid macular edema.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The present study evaluated the efficacy of combined use of suprachoroidal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (SCTA) using a modified custom needle with topical nepafenac 0.3% in the treatment of pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME).

Methods

A prospective randomized study that included sixty eyes of 60 patients with PCME. Patients were divided in two groups, group (1) included 30 patients who received topical nepafenac 0.3% eye drops alone and group (2) that included 30 patients who received a single SCTA (4 mg/0.1 ml) combined with topical nepafenac 0.3% eye drops.

Results

In group 1, the central macular thickness (CMT) decreased from 457.4 ± 81.4 um to 252.9 ± 54.6 um after 12 months. In respect to group 2, CMT declined from 455.1 ± 79.6 um to 213.7 ±
