PURPOSE: To report the development of bilateral cystoid macular edema (CME) following bimatoprost implant (Durysta) injections in both eyes to treat primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). METHODS: Case Report. RESULTS: A 93-year-old woman with a history of POAG received bimatoprost implant (Durysta) injections in both eyes four weeks apart. The patient subsequently developed progressively decreased visual acuity in both eyes due to bilateral CME, which improved with topical corticosteroid therapy. CONCLUSIONS: Bimatoprost implant (Durysta) can cause CME in susceptible individuals. Patients who received the implant should be assessed for the presence of CME following any decline in visual acuity, particularly in high-risk patients.
