  In diabetic macular edema, prolonged hyperglycemia compromises endothelial cell linkage leading to vascular permeability. The leakage of fluid, solutes, proteins and immune cells cause the macula to swell and thicken. [ampiopharma.com]

  Diabetic Macular Edema The pathophysiology of diabetic macular edema (DME) involves intracellular hyperglycemia, which induces free radicals (oxidative stress), protein kinase C (PKC) activation, and formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGE). [retinatoday.com]

Treatment/Prognosis of Cystoid Macular Edema The prognosis for untreated CME after cataract surgery (Irvine-Gass syndrome) is very good. About half of the cases will regain normal vision in about 6 months. [mastereyeassociates.com]

As with other conditions, the visual prognosis depends on the severity of the underlying condition, its duration, the general health of the eye, and the degree to which vision has been affected. [asrs.org]

Diagnosis and Prognosis: An ophthalmologist is usually the one to make this diagnosis following a complete examination of the retina. Several tests can be used to distinguish this condition from others which appear superficially similar. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Cystoid macular edema after cataract surgery usually has an excellent prognosis with the majority of cases responding to medical treatment. Once the CME resolves, the vision typically returns back to normal. [rvscny.com]

This prevents fluid from flowing through the tear and leading to retinal detachment. Treatment for a retinal tear is usually effective in relieving symptoms and preventing retinal detachment from occurring. [midhudsonretina.com]

To prevent this we usually use preventative treatment, and are now using Nepafenac 0.3% three times a day if diabetic ( or Yellox bd if not diabetic) Medline for ~ 5 days prior to the cataract surgery in the second eye, and continue 2 weeks post-op. preventative [goodhopeeyeclinic.org.uk]
