Treatment of Cystoid Macular Edema in Patients With Retinal Degeneration

Completed · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Retinal Degenerations

In brief

A small percentage of patients with retinal degeneration accumulate fluid in the center of their retina. Previous studies using an oral form of treatment has been successful in decreasing this fluid which improves vision. This study will test the use of a topically applied form of this treatment to the eye to reduce the amount of fluid and improve or preserve vision.
