Irvine-Gass syndrome, pseudophakic cystoid macular edema or postcataract CME is one of the most common causes of visual loss after cataract surgery.[1][2]
The incidence is more common in older types of cataract surgery, where postcataract CME could occur in 20-60% of patients,[3] but with modern cataract surgery, incidence of Irvine-Gass syndrome have reduced significantly.[4]
