Purpose: Selective laser trabeculoplasty,a relatively novel treatment for open angle glaucoma,is frequently associated with mild post-operative intraocular inflammation. Methods: We report two uncommon cases of cystoid macular edema within a few weeks of routine selective laser trabeculoplasty. Results:Visual acuities and macular thicknesses of the two cases returned to baseline after medical treatment,but in one case, the cystoid macular edema persisted for months. Conclusion:Cystoid macular edema after selective laser trabeculoplasty is fortunately a rare complication, but it might be more common in patients with predisposing factors, and it can be resistant to treatment.
