AbstractTo evaluate the effects of intravitreal ranibizumab injection (IVR) on metamorphopsia in patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), and to assess the relationship between metamorphopsia and inner retinal microstructure and other factors. Thirty-three treatment-naïve eyes of 33 patients with macular edema caused by BRVO with at least 12 months of follow-up were included. The degree of metamorphopsia was quantified using the M-CHARTS. Retinal microstructure was assessed with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Disorganization of the retinal inner layers (DRIL) at the first month after resolution of the macular edema (early DRIL) and at 12 months after treatment (after DRIL) was studied. Central retinal thickness (CRT), and status of the external limiting membrane as well as ellipsoid zone were also evaluated. IVR treatment significantly improved best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and CRT, but the mean metamorphopsia score did not improve even after 12 months. Post-treatment metamorphopsia scores showed a significant correlation with pre-treatment metamorphopsia scores (P < 0.005), the extent of early DRIL (P < 0.05) and after DRIL (P < 0.05), and the number of injections (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that the post-treatment mean metamorphopsia score was significantly correlated with the pre-treatment mean metamorphopsia score (P < 0.05). IVR treatment significantly improved BCVA and CRT, but not metamorphopsia. Post-treatment metamorphopsia scores were significantly associated with pre-treatment metamorphopsia scores, the extent of DRIL, and the number of injections. Prognostic factor of metamorphopsia was the degree of pre-treatment metamorphopsia.

Purpose. Ischemic central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) eyes are at high risk of developing neovascular glaucoma (NVG). Our purpose is to investigate the effect of anti-VEGF therapy for macular edema after CRVO on the development of neovascular glaucoma (NVG) in ischemic CRVO eyes.Methods. This is a retrospective case series of 44 eyes from 44 patients with CRVO treated with anti-VEGF therapy for macular edema. The primary outcome was the development of NVG.Results. Of the 44 eyes, 14 eyes had ischemic CRVO, and 30 eyes had nonischemic CRVO. Nonischemic eyes received a mean of 8.4 anti-VEGF doses, over mean follow-up of 24 months. One nonischemic eye (3.3%) developed NVD but not NVG. The 14 ischemic eyes received a mean of 5.6 anti-VEGF doses, with mean follow-up of 23 months. Of these 14 ischemic eyes, two eyes (14%) developed iris neovascularization and 3 eyes (21%) developed posterior neovascularization. Three of these 5 eyes with neovascularization progressed to NVG, at 19.7 months after symptom onset, on average.Conclusion. Anti-VEGF therapy for macular edema may delay, but does not prevent, the development of ocular NV in ischemic CRVO. Significant risk of NVG still exists for ischemic CRVO eyes.

Introduction: Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) caused sudden visual decrease that most often treatable. This paper aims to describe clinical characteristic and outcome using bevacizumab for macular edema caused by retinal vein occlusion in real-life practice. Methods: This retrospective study included 91 treatment-naïve eyes with macular edema due to CRVO (55 eyes) and BRVO (36 eyes), who were treated with intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) in pro re nata (PRN) regimen. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) before and after treatment were evaluated. Result: The mean age of patients was 60.3 + 11.2 years for CRVO and 55.7 + 8.2 years for BRVO. The mean baseline BCVA in the CRVO group was 1.41 + 0.55 logMAR. There was statistically significant improvement in BCVA after intravitreal bevacizumab compared to baseline (p < 0.001) in CRVO and BRVO group. Twenty six (47.3%) eyes with CRVO had BCVA > 1.0 logMAR (Snellen 20/200) at the last follow-up. In the BRVO group, the mean baseline BCVA was 0.93 + 0.48 logMAR. At the end of the follow up, 19 eyes (52.8%) with BRVO had BCVA > 0.3 logMAR (Snellen 20/40). There was also statistically significant improvement in CMT between all time points and baseline (p < 0.001) in both groups. At the end of the follow up, 26 (47.3%) eyes with CRVO and 25 eyes (69.4%) in BRVO group presented resolution of macular edema (CMT < 300). Conclusion: Intravitreal bevacizumab resulted in significant anatomical and functional improvement in macular edema associated with CRVO and BRVO, although outcome in CRVO group was sub-optimal.

Purpose. To evaluate retinal functional improvement by means of visual acuity and retinal sensibility examination after intravitreal dexamethasone implant in patients affected by cystoid macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion. Methods. Twenty-six consecutive patients affected by retinal vein occlusion complicated by cystoid macular edema were enrolled in this prospective interventional study. All patients underwent a baseline complete ophthalmological evaluation as well as retinal angiography, OCT examination, and microperimetry evaluation. Each patient was treated with intravitreal injection of a long-term steroid implant (Ozurdex, Allergan). Follow-up evaluations were performed at months 1, 3, and 6 and completed by OCT and MP1 examination. Clinical data underwent statistical analysis. Results. Baseline functional evaluation showed mean visual acuity of 0,63±0,42 LogMAR and retinal sensitivity of 7,93±4,73 dB (mean±standard deviation); after treatment, at day 30 we found, respectively, 0,43±0,38 LogMAR (p<0.05, compared to baseline) and 10,15±4,410 dB (p<0.05); at day 90, we found 0,44±0,32 (p<0.05) and 9.61±4,29 dB (p<0.05); at day 180, we found 0,41±0,31 (p<0.05) and 9,95±3,79 dB (p<0.05). Fixation pattern improved significantly (p<0.05), showing a stable fixation in 30% of patients at baseline, increasing to 77% of patients at day 180. Baseline morphological evaluation showed a central retinal thickness (CRT) of 398,21±181,65 μm after treatment; we found a CRT of 222,64±95,21 μm at day 30 (p<0.05, compared to baseline), 307,50±120,25 μm (p<0.05) at day 90, and 294,93±135,86 μm (p<0.05) at day 180. About 15,3% patients showed already at month 3 a recurrence of macular edema. They underwent a retreatment before month 6 as for treatment guidelines. Conclusion. Our detailed analysis showed the significative increase in retinal function in the early phases of the follow-up. Retinal sensibility showed a stronger correlation than VA in macular edema reabsorption, better underlying the progressive functional recovery and increase in quality of vision and life for the patients. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03559491.
