This concise practice points document sets out a practical approach to post-operative macular oedema following intra-ocular surgery. It covers case definition, case finding, referral timing, initial treatment and escalation for persistent or refractory cases. The guidance recognises variation in current practice and the limited evidence base, and aims to support more consistent management across secondary care and community pathways. It is particularly relevant for cataract services, medical retina teams and optometrists involved in post-operative review.
