One hundred twenty-eight consecutive aphakic glaucomatous eyes of 91 patients were examined by fluorescein angiography. Macular edema was present in 16 (28%) of 56 eyes currently being treated with epinephrine and 9 (13%) of 72 eyes not currently being treated with epinephrine. This difference is statistically significant at the 95% confidence level. Epinephrine therapy was discontinued in seven eyes with macular edema. A follow-up of these patients for six months to one year with serial anglograms showed resolution of edema in six of seven eyes. In one eye without macular edema, administration of epinephrine was associated with appearance of edema. Discontinuing epinephrine therapy was associated with resolution of edema. No significant correlation was found between use of other antiglaucomatous medications and macular edema. It is evident from this study that there is statistical support for the concept of an epinephrine-induced macular edema.
