Pseudophakic macular edema frequently developed after phacoemulsification cataract surgery in patients with a history of retinal vein occlusion. The risk of PME further increased when the patient had undergone macular edema treatment and had a higher prevalence of intravitreal injection treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
