The paper presents two clinical cases of macular edema treatment in patients with chronic non-infectious uveitis and pseudophakia. Both patients underwent phacoemulsification of uveal cataract and were treated with a DEX 0.7 mg intravitreal implant in the postoperative period. In both cases, visual acuity and tomograhic indicators were improved.

Key words: cystoid macular edema, chronic uveitis, intravitreal steroid, dexamethasone.
