“…The macular thickness decreased within 4 to 8 weeks after the Ozurdex implantation, and the visual improvement was observed in 79% of the patients. In the same study, the macular thickness was observed to increase between 10 and 16 weeks, and the dexamethasone implant was reapplied to 12 of 25 eyes [ 33 ]. In another study by Hattenbach et al, the medical records of 37 patients (39 eyes) who had been treated with intravitreal DEX implant for postoperative persistent cystoid macular edema following vitrectomy and peeling of idiopathic epiretinal membranes were retrospectively reviewed [ 39 ].…”

“…Die Ergebnisse randomisierter prospektiver Studien zeigen, dass das DEX-Implantat sich als Ersttherapie bei pseudophaken Patienten eignet sowie im präoperativen Intervall für Patienten, die für eine Kataraktoperation vorgesehen sind [21]. Auch vitrektomierte Patienten eignen sich für eine Therapie mit DEX-Implantat [49].…”

“…DEX implant has been used off-label for macular edema associated with retinitis pigmentosa, 111–114 hydroxychloroquine retinopathy, 115 persistent macular edema after pars plana vitrectomy, 116 and various other indications. 117 However, a prospective randomized controlled trial of 140 eyes undergoing vitrectomy surgery with silicone oil for proliferative vitreo-retinopathy failed to show any benefit of DEX implants injected at the time of surgery and silicone oil removal.…”
