Vitreous hyper-reflective dots in pseudophakic cystoid macular edema assessed with optical coherence tomography.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study compares the presence of vitreous hyper-reflective dots (VHDs) detected with optical coherence tomography (OCT) between eyes with pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (CME) and those with no CME after cataract surgery. In addition, we evaluated the impact of VHDs on the responsiveness of pseudophakic CME to cortisone treatment.

Setting

Department of Ophthalmology, Medical University of Graz, Austria.

Design

Retrospective, monocenter case-controlled study.

Methods

Inclusion criteria for the study group and the control group were CME and no CME within 12 weeks following uneventful phacoemulsification in otherwise healthy eyes, respectively. VHDs (number and size) and the macular thickness were assessed with OCT. Furthermore, the number of peribul
