Intravitreal dexamethasone for central retinal vein occlusion with low visual acuity: A retrospective study

摘要

INTRODUCTION The GENEVA trial1 described the efficacy and safety of dexamethasone intravitreal implant (Ozurdex, Allergan) in treatment of patients with macular oedema due to post-retinal vein occlusion (RVO). However, this trial excluded RVO patients with a baseline best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of less than 34 Early Treatment of Diabetes Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letters. We conducted a study of our clinical outcomes with Ozurdex in patients with macular oedema-associated central RVO (CRVO) and identified 19 patients with a baseline BCVA less than 34 ETDRS letters.
