Comparison of the efficacy of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide for cystoid macular edema with versus without serous retinal detachment in branch retinal vein occlusion: influence on macular sensitivity and morphology

BACKGROUND The influence of serous retinal detachment (SRD) on visual acuity, macular sensitivity, and macular thickness is unclear after intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) for macular edema with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). METHODS Twenty-one eyes of 21 BRVO patients with macular edema received IVTA. Patients were divided into two groups by optical coherence to...

Comparison of Intravitreal Steroids for Treatment of Cystoid Macular Edema Due to Retinal Vein Occlusion

R etinal vein occlusion (RVO) causes vision loss mostly because of the development of intraretinal leakage that leads to macular edema. The treatment of cystoid macular edema (CME) secondary to RVO has evolved considerably during the past decade. Anti-VEGF agents have become the standard of care for CME secondary to both branch (BRVO) and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Because the under...

Comparison of Intravitreal Injection of Bevacizumab and Triamcinolone Acetonide in the Treatment of Uveitic Macular Edema

Background: Cystoid Macular Edema (CME) is one of the most common and sight threatening complications of uveitis. Intravitreal injection of corticosteroids and anti-VEGF antibody are two routine options for treatment. Objective: To compare the effects of intravitreal injections of Bevacizumab and Triamcinolone Acetonide for the treatment of persistent macular edema in non-infectious uveitis. Me...

Early versus Late Intravitreal Triamcinolone Acetonide for Macular Edema associated with Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion

PURPOSE To compare the effect of early versus late intravitreal injection of triamcinolone in patients with macular edema due to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). METHODS Twenty eyes of 20 patients with macular edema from BRVO, including 10 with duration after onset of or <or= 3 months and 10 with duration of 3 months, were treated using a single intravitreal triamcinolone injection (4 mg...
