Abstract
Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is the second most common cause of retinal vascular disease after Diabetic Retinopathy. Visual impairment secondary to central or branch retinal vein occlusion (CRVO, BRVO) is mostly caused by macular oedema. Thus, the current study was planned with a purpose to study the correlation between visual outcome and the macular oedema after Anti‐VEGF injections in eyes with macular oedema associated with a RVO. To accomplish this, we used OCT to follow up and determine the macular oedema in eyes before and after anti‐VEGF injections. The current study is a hospital based Prospective Interventional cohort study. The central macular thickness was evaluated prior to the intervention with the help of OCT. Before treatment mean macular thickness was 536.12 um which was reduced to 250.28um after treatment with Antivegf injections. There was 53.3% improvement which was found to be statistically significant. Mean LogMAR visual acuity was 0.93(Pre) which was significantly improved to 0.35(Post) in BRVO. (P value 0.001).
