Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of Triamcinolone Acetonide in posterior sub-tenon injection combined with laser photocoagulation for the treatment of macular edema caused by branch retinal vein occlusion(BRVO).
MethodsSixty eyes of 60 cases with macular edema caused by BRVO received retinal laser photocoagulation after Triamcinolone acetonide posterior sub-tenon injection.The follow-up time was 6 months.
ResultsAt 6 months after treatment, the visual acuity improved in 55 cases(90.16%), the macular edema was reduced significantly in 45 cases(75.20%), and no proliferative vitreoretinopathy or neovascular glaucoma occurred.
ConclusionTriamcinolone acetonide in posterior sub-tenon injection combined with laser photocoagulation for the treatment of macular edema caused by BRVO can improve the visual acutiy, promote retinal edema absorption, and also can prevent the formation of neovascular glaucoma.
