Aim: To analyze visual outcome after suprachoroidal injection of triamcinolone acetate in cystoids macular edema of different pathology.

Study design: Prospective interventional study.

Place and duration of study: Department of Ophthalmology, Niazi Medical & Dental College Sargodha from 1^st July 2021 to 31^st December 2021.

All participants were followed-up at 1-week, 1-month 3 and 6 months and best corrected visual acuity and intraocular pressure was also recorded. All procedure done in the main operation theatre under full sterilization condition and consider it as a part of major procedure.

Results: Females appeared to be more in number than to males. In mostly patients the cause of cystoids macular edema was uveitis (Intermediate type) (n=30) followed by vascular disorder (n=10). There was a significant improvement after treatment on visual acuity according to the given results.

Conclusion: Common cause of cystoids macular edema in the present study was uveitis followed by vascular disorders. There was a significant improvement after treatment on visual acuity according to the given results. Most patients achieve good visual activity after treatment.
