Dexamethasone Intravitreal Implant (Ozurdex) for Long-Term Macular Edema after Epiretinal Membrane Peeling Surgery

Figure 4

Pre- and postoperative OCT findings in a patient with more long-term persistent macular edema after membrane peeling and internal limiting membrane peeling. The preoperative OCT image showed prominent ERM overlying the macular surface, the CFT was 656 μm and the BCVA was 20/400 (a). Thirty-six months after operation, no ERM was noted, but the BCVA had only improved to 20/200 with the CFT of 422 μm (b). One month after IVD, the CFT decreased to 407 μm and the BCVA improved to 20/22 (c). Three months after IVD, the CFT slightly decreased to 398 μm and the BCVA maintained at 20/22 (d). Six months after IVD, the CFT was 385 μm and the BCVA further improved to 20/20 (e).
