: To conduct a systematic review of effectiveness of pharmacological therapies for treatment of Uveitic Macular Edema (UMO). : Comparative studies of pharmacological therapies in patients with UMO were identified in Cochrane CENTRAL/MEDLINE/EMBASE/CINAHL/trials registers (February 2017). PROSPERO registration: CRD42015019170. : Thirty-one studies were included. Corticosteroids were the most frequently studied ( = 20). Corticosteroids (all forms) were consistently of greater/equal efficacy to active comparators; for anti-VEGF ( = 4) improvement, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) were mostly less than local corticosteroid injection; for interferon ( = 1) improvement BCVA and CMT were greater than the comparator of methotrexate; for topical indomethacin ( = 1) improvement, BCVA and CMT were greater than placebo. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, and vitamin E ( = 5) were not effective for these outcomes. : The review highlights areas where the evidence base is still lacking, and appropriately focused trials are needed to inform best treatment to tackle this sight-threatening condition.
