(A) Vertical section of the macular area of the right eye by optical coherence tomography showing cystoid macular edema. (B) Vertical section of the macular area of the right eye 2 days after subtenon triamcinolone injection. A quick recovery was observed. (C) Two years after subtenon triamcinolone injection, no recurrence of cystoid macular edema was observed.

CME was identified in the right eye by optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings (Figure 1A), and was treated with an injection of subtenon triamcinolone. Discontinuance of travoprost and the initiation of diclofenac eye drops improved the visual acuity (20/20) and resulted in a rapid improvement in the OCT findings within a few days (Figure 1B). No recurrence has occurred for a period of 2 years (Figure 1C), and the IOP has been controlled at 16-19 mmHg.

(A) Vertical section of the macular area of the left eye by optical coherence tomography showing cystoid macular edema. (B) Vertical section of the macular area of the left eye 2 days after subtenon triamcinolone injection. A quick recovery with a mild case of cystoid macular edema was observed. (C) Three years after subtenon triamcinolone injection, no recurrence of cystoid macular edema was observed.

On August 1, his visual acuity was 20/200, and the OCT findings indicated CME (Figure 2A). August 7, his visual acuity had recovered to 20/40, and the OCT findings showed improvement (Figure 2B). After 3 months, latanoprost was resumed treated with diclofenac. No recurrence of the CME has occurred for a period of 3 years, and IOP has been controlled at 10-15 mmHg (Figure 2C).
