Visual acuity of the right eye remained the same as baseline visual acuity of 0.2 with the Snellen chart during the follow up. Macular edema related to radiation retinopathy could not be fully controlled during the course of follow -up . Various agents were administered during the follow-up period due to persistent nature of the macular edema. The clinical course refl ects the relatively negative character of the disease and also proves that radiation maculopathy is a very resistant disease requiring almost continuous intravitreal therapy..
