Avastin doesn’t appear to improve visual function in patients with postoperative cystoid macular edema

This retrospective series included 16 patients (16 eyes) with CME after cataract surgery refractory to standard treatment. Although the mean retinal thickness decreased slightly after intravitreal Avastin, the mean visual acuity remained unchanged. Visual acuity improved by two ETDRS lines in one patient, remained unchanged in 12 patients, and decreased by two lines in two patients.
