Editor’s note: This is a retrospective analysis of an interventional case series of 24 patients with chronic cystoid macular edema (CME) owing to non-infectious uveitis who were given interferon
α-2a subcutaneously. There was complete resolution of CME within 3 months in 62.5%. Side effects included flu-like symptoms, fatigue, and increased liver enzymes. Only one patient required cessation of treatment because of side effects.
