Abstract Purpose:To report the outcome of treatment of macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion by intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF followed by minimally invasive macular photocoagulation.

Cases and Method:This retrospective study was made on 30 eyes of 30 cases who had macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion and who were part of 150 eyes treated by us in the past 70 months. These 30 eyes received intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF followed by minimally invasive photocoagulation for areas of macular edema. Visual acuity was evaluated in terms of logMAR.

Results:The 30 eyes received an average of 3.0±1.4 sessions of intravitreal VEGF, followed by 1.2±0.4 sessions of photocoagulation. Visual acuity averaged 0.43±0.35 before treatment and 0.16±0.27 after 12 months of treatment. The difference was significant(p<0.001). Central macular thickness, as measured by optical coherence tomography, averaged 410.7±149.2 μm before treatment and 290.4±76.0 μm 12 months after treatment. The difference was significant(p=0.001).

Conclusion:Treatment of macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion by intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF followed by minimally invasive macular photocoagulation resulted in improved visual acuity, reduced macular thickness, and reduced sessions of intravitreal anti-VEFG injection.
