OBJECTIVES: To assess the risk factors for resistance to first-line therapy and long-term response to dexamethasone intravitreal implant (Ozurdex®) of patients with macular oedema (MO) secondary to rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair (RRDR).

METHODS: This was a retrospective, consecutive cohort study conducted in patients who underwent RRDR between January 2014 and December 2020 in the Rothschild Foundation Hospital and experienced postoperative MO (POMO) with a follow-up of at least 18 months.

RESULTS: Of the 1152 patients screened, 36 eyes (3.1%) experienced POMO. The mean follow-up duration was 45.2 months (18.0-80.5 months). Twenty-five eyes (69.4%) were resistant to first-line therapy and received at least one Ozurdex® injection (mean number: 2.7 [1-12]). The multivariate analysis showed an increased risk of resistance in patients who underwent perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL)-assisted drainage (adjusted odds ratio: 8.65; 95% confidence interval: 1.97-15.33; p = 0.01). Significant differences in best-corrected visual acuity and central macular thickness were found between before Ozurdex® injection and the last follow-up visit: from 0.57 ± 0.47 LogMAR to 0.34 ± 0.32 LogMAR (p = 0.02) and from 483.0 ± 124.0 µm to 354.6 ± 96.5 µm (p = 0.001), respectively. The absence of serous retinal detachment and the presence of hyperreflective foci at baseline were associated with a higher resistance and a poorer response to Ozurdex®. Two patients (8%) experienced hypertony, that was well controlled with hypotonic drops.

CONCLUSION: MO secondary to RRDR is challenging. Ozurdex® could be reasonably proposed as first-line treatment, at least when MO occurs following PFCL-assisted drainage, given the favourable long-term benefit/risk ratio.
