Case in brief

A woman in her 60s developed bilateral cystoid macular oedema (CME) following sequential cataract surgeries, resulting in a decline in visual acuity. Diagnosed with bilateral Irvine-Gass syndrome, she initially received topical steroids and NSAIDs without improvement. A single dose of suprachoroidal triamcinolone acetonide injections led to rapid resolution of CME and restoration of visual acuity to 6/6 in both eyes, maintained for 8 months.

Diagnostic / clinical pearl

Clinicians should consider suprachoroidal triamcinolone acetonide injections as a treatment option for Irvine-Gass syndrome in cases unresponsive to conventional topical therapies.
