Cystoid macular edema or CME, is a painless disorder which affects the central retina or macula. When this condition is present, multiple cyst-like (cystoid) areas of fluid appear in the macula and cause retinal swelling or edema.

What does CME mean in ophthalmology?

The macula makes up the center of vision and is the most critical area for best visual sharpness. When fluid swells the macula, it typically does so in cyst-like patterns; this condition is called cystoid macular edema.

Can you see CME?

One of the most spectacular displays of solar activity, CMEs can fling into space billions of tons of solar material, called plasma, as well as embedded magnetic fields. CMEs are sometimes (but not always) associated with solar flares. We are able to see CMEs thanks to a special type of telescope called a coronagraph.
