Abstract
ObjectiveTo compare the efficary between posterior subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide(TA)and intravitreal injection of ranibizumab for the treatment of non-artertic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).
MethodsTotal of 60 eyes of 60 patients who were diagnosed as NAION from Jun. 2016 to Jun. 2018 were randomly divided into two groups.Group A, 30 eyes of 30 patients, received poeterior subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide (TA, 20mg). Group B, 30 eyes of 30 cases, received intravitreal injection of ranibizumab. The visual acuity, visual field and optic disc edema were recorded after treatment.
ResultsThe visual acuity, visual field and optic disc edema at 15 days after treatment were improved.In group A the vision field improved in 14 eyes (93.33%)among 15 eyes who received visual field examination, unchannged in 1 eye (6.67%). In group B the vision field were improved in 12 eyes(83.33%)among 15 eyes who received visual field examination, and unchannged in 3 eyes(16.67%).
ConclusionTriamcinolone acetonide (TA) has the same efficacy as ranibizumab in the treatment of NAION.Triamcinolone acetonide are superior to Ranibizumab in economics and safety.
