Drug-induced cystoid macular edema (CME)/cystoid edema of the retina

Introduction

The macular cystic edema model was induced in monkeys to evaluate macular lesions. The monkey model can be used to evaluate drug efficacy of anti-reactive oxygen species, anti-neovascularization and neuroprotection.
