(A) Two months after cataract surgery, CME with SRD is shown on SD-OCT. NSAIDs therapy is started. (B) Month 1: after 1 month of oral and topical NSAIDs, SRD disappeared, but CME was still evident on SD-OCT. Sub-Tenon's steroid injections are scheduled. (C) Month 2: after two consecutive injections of sub-Tenon's betamethasone CME is reduced, but still evident on SD-OCT. Intravitreal dexamethasone implant is scheduled. (D) Month 3: after one intravitreal implant of 0.7 mg dexamethasone, SD-OCT showed resolution of CME.. Abbreviations: CME, cystoid macular edema; SRD, serous retinal detachment; SD-OCT, spectral domain optical coherence tomography; NSAIDs, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Fundoscopy and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) revealed a CME with serous retinal detachment (SRD) (Figure 1A). After 1 month of medical therapy, VA improved to 20/50 and SD-OCT showed resolution of the SRD; however, CME was still present (Figure 1B). One month after the first sub-Tenon's injection (2 months after the diagnosis of CME), VA was 20/40 and SD-OCT still showed CME (Figure 1C). The procedure was uneventful, and 1 month later VA improved to 20/30, with SD-OCT showing resolution of the CME (Figure 1D).
