Cystoid macular oedema (CMO) is one of the most frequent postoperative macular complications to cause partial visual recovery after successful retinal detachment (RD) repair. Refractory CMO is difficult to treat and many strategies have been employed with varying degrees of success. We report for the first time the use of ILUVIEN implant to treat refractory CMO after successful RD repair. A 65-year-old female presented with right eye full-thickness macular hole and underwent pars plana vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling and cryotherapy with gas tamponade with 12% C3F8. She subsequently developed right eye macula-on RD and proliferative vitreoretinopathy and required multiple procedures for successful retinal reattachment. Later, she developed CMO that responded to intravitreal triamcinolone injections and intravitreal dexamethasone 0.7-mg implants but recurrence of CMO continued to be a problem. After receiving ILUVIEN intravitreal implant, her visual acuity improved and CMO resolved without recurrence for 13 months. Refractory CMO after RD repair is difficult to treat and in a quarter of cases will not improve without treatment. Our case shows that a single ILUVIEN implant maintained anatomical dry fovea and improved vision. This also demonstrates that ILUVIEN is an effective management strategy to reduce the need for repeated treatments.
