Abstract

The pathological findings in ten eyes with cystoid macular edema are used to demonstrate typical details, stages and clinical associations. A history of ocular hypotony leads the list of associated conditions. Cyclitis is also very common. Separation of the central cones from the pigment epithelium due to folding of the outer retinal layers is observed and this can be used to explain early central vision loss associated with cystoid macular edema.
