This study aimed to evaluate various treatment modalities for post-operative CMO, including topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), periocular steroids, and intravitreal injections. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted to assess the efficacy of different treatment approaches for post-operative CMO. Studies evaluating topical NSAIDs, periocular steroids, intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (TCA), dexamethasone implants (Ozurdex), and intravitreal bevacizumab were included. The main outcomes assessed included improvements in vision, resolution of CMO, recurrence rates, and safety profile. Results: Topical NSAIDs, particularly ketorolac and diclofenac, showed effectiveness in acute CMO, while their efficacy in chronic cases was variable. Periocular steroids, including retrobulbar TCA and sub-Tenon injections, demonstrated significant improvements in vision and the resolution of CMO, especially in cases resistant to topical therapy. Intravitreal TCA and dexamethasone implants exhibited variable effects on CMO resolution and recurrence rates, with some studies reporting sustained improvements over 12 months. The role of intravitreal bevacizumab as initial therapy remains unclear, although it may be considered in cases unresponsive to steroids. Conclusions: Topical NSAIDs, often combined with periocular steroids, serve as first-line therapy, with periocular steroids offering additional efficacy in resistant cases. Further research is needed to establish optimal treatment algorithms and improve outcomes for patients with post-operative CMO<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics15060667","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,10]],"date-time":"2025-03-10T09:36:24Z","timestamp":1741599384000},"page":"667","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Incidence, Pathogenesis, Risk Factors, and Treatment of Cystoid Macula Oedema Following Cataract Surgery: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Lorenzo","family":"Ferro Desideri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Freiburgstrasse 15, CH-3010 Bern, Switzerland"},{"name":"Department for BioMedical Research, University of Bern, Murtenstrasse 24, CH-3008 Bern, Switzerland"},{"name":"Bern Photographic Reading Center, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, CH-3000 Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-3964-8850","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kirupakaran","family":"Arun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London EC1V 2PD, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8082-4813","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Enrico","family":"Bernardi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Freiburgstrasse 15, CH-3010 Bern, Switzerland"},{"name":"Department for BioMedical Research, University of Bern, Murtenstrasse 24, CH-3008 Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8892-2218","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicola","family":"Sagurski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Freiburgstrasse 15, CH-3010 Bern, Switzerland"},{"name":"Department for BioMedical Research, University of Bern, Murtenstrasse 24, CH-3008 Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rodrigo","family":"Anguita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Freiburgstrasse 15, CH-3010 Bern, Switzerland"},{"name":"Department for BioMedical Research, University of Bern, Murtenstrasse 24, CH-3008 Bern, Switzerland"},{"name":"Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London EC1V 2PD, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2024, November 01).
