Abstract. Purpose:To report the short-term effect of intravitreal injection of aflibercept for macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion(BRVO). Cases and Method:This study was made on 9 eyes of 9 patients with BRVO less than 3 months of presumed duration. The series comprised 4 males and 5 females. The age averaged 64 years. All the affected eyes showed cystoid macular edema(CME)and received intravitreal 2 mg aflibercept. The treatment was repeated when CME recurred. Visual acuity was evaluated as logMAR. Foveal thickness was measured by optical coherence tomography. Cases were followed up for 5 months. Results:Visual acuity averaged 0.39±0.24 before treatment and 0.14±0.16 one month after treatment. The difference was significant(p=0.03). Foveal thickness averaged 420.0±146.3μm before treatment and 301.4±48.7μm one month after treatment. The difference was significant(p=0.0020). Two eyes received another session of aflibercept after 3 months for recurrence of CME. Five eyes were similarly treated after 4 months. Visual acuity and foveal thickness remained stable during the course of observation. Conclusion:Intravitreal injection of aflibercept was followed by improved visual acuity and reduced foveal thickness in eyes with CME secondary to BRVO.
