High-dose intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide treats macular edema for up to 6 months
One injection of decanted high-dose intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide can provide a 6-month treatment for patients with treatment-resistant persistent macular edema, according to a study. Researchers examined the effects of decanted high-dose intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide 20 mg/0.1 mL on 77 eyes of 70 patients with macular edema. Thirty-six eyes had macular edema secondary to intraocular surgery of pars plana vitrectomy or trabeculectomy.
