چکیده

A control trial is reported which demonstrates that treatment with argon laser photocoagulation to certain patients with macular oedema following a branch vein occlusion does not alter significantly their visual prognosis. It confirms that patients with an intact perifoveal capillary arcade have a better prognosis than those with a broken arcade.

Factors correlated with the resolution of macular oedema after one dose injection of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide treatment in branch retinal vein occlusion

OBJECTIVE To investigate the predictive baseline factors for a successful outcome following one dose of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) in patients with macular oedema (ME) caused by branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). METHODS This retrospective study enrolled patients with ME (macular retinal thickness [MRT] ≥ 300 µm) due to BRVO who still had ME 3 months after grid laser photo...

Effect of laser photocoagulation on the retinal vessel diameter in branch and macular vein occlusion.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the response of retinal vessel diameters to photocoagulation treatment and their role for the success of laser treatment in patients with retinal vein occlusion. METHODS The study included 14 patients with branch vein occlusion or macular vein occlusion. The ophthalmologic examination included best-corrected visual acuity, biomicroscopy, fundus photography, and fluore...

Grid laser photocoagulation for macular oedema due to branch retinal vein occlusion in the age of bevacizumab? Results of a prospective study with crossover design.

BACKGROUND AND AIM To investigate the long term effectiveness of grid laser photocoagulation (GLP) versus intravitreal bevacizumab (BEV) in macular oedema (MO) secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), and to evaluate the treatment courses after treatments were switched. METHODS In this prospective interventional consecutive case series, previously untreated eyes with perfused MO wer...
