Macular Edema

Macular edema is a condition where fluid leaks from tiny blood vessels and builds up in the central part of the retina. the area swells and thickens, causing blurred or distorted central vision.

Treatment

The goal of treatment is to stop leakage and reduce swelling in the macula. Options may include:

• Anti-VEGF injections: Medications injected into the eye that block abnormal blood vessel leakage.
• Laser therapy: Seals leaking blood vessels and reduces fluid buildup.
• Treating underlying causes: Managing diabetes, high blood pressure, or inflammation is essential for long-term control.
