Current Role of the use of Corticosteroids in the Treatment of Macular Edema Secondary Tocentral Retinal Vein Occlusion
نویسنده
چکیده
Before the introduction of antagonists of vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF), intravitreal corticosteroids were the main treatment of the macular edema (ME) secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). It has been shown that panretinal photocoagulation was only efficacious in the prevention and treatment of the neovascular complications of CRVO. With the discover of the antiVEGF agents, they became the actual first-line of treatment of the ME associated to CRVO.
