Abstract
Macular edema is a rare complication of scleral necrosis following scleral buckling surgery, with only one case described in the literature. Our patient's complication occurred 2Â years after surgery. The macular edema is likely the result of the scleritis. This inflammatory process can extend from the sclera and result in several ocular complications, including uveitis. Regression of macular edema occurs frequently after removal of the scleral buckle.
