After 3\u2009months, she required a scleral fixation of the same lens, due to a lack of capsular support and decentration of the intraocular lens. One month later, she experienced a severe pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (foveal thickness of 399\u2009\u00b5m and best-corrected visual acuity of 20\/80\u2009Snellen). The condition was refractory to conventional treatments prior to subthreshold micropulse yellow laser interventions, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory eye drops, topical steroids, oral indomethacin and three sub-Tenon\u2019s triamcinolone injections, attempted over a 14-month period.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Subthreshold micropulse yellow laser treatment was performed and immediate resolution was achieved and maintained for 2\u2009months. Two cases of edema relapse were observed at 3\u2009months from initial laser treatment and again at 4\u2009months from the second laser treatment. Final patient\u2019s follow-up at 6\u2009months from the third laser treatment evidenced the absence of edema, improved visual acuity (foveal thickness of 265\u2009\u00b5m\/best-corrected visual acuity of 20\/30\u2009Snellen) and the absence of complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Subthreshold micropulse yellow laser seems to be a safe and effective treatment for short-term resolution of refractory pseudophakic cystoid macular edema after complicated cataract surgery and represents a useful alternative to expensive and invasive therapies.
