Abstract
    37 patients (37 eyes) with macular edema (ME) after phacoemulsification (PE) of age-related cataract were observed. There was partial vitreous detachment with adhesion to the retina in the foveal and parafoveal areas in 30 eyes (81.1%) with macular cysts and macular hole formation in one case. Broad vitreomacular adhesion with thickening of the posterior hyaloid membrane (PHM) and internal limiting membrane was observed in other 7 eyes (18.9%). Total detachment of the PHM was not revealed in all cases.
