Abstract: Objective

To observe the morphological changes in the macular area in patients with macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion after intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs, using optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Methods

Fifty-six patients with retinal vein occlusion complicated with macular edema were randomly selected from the clinic. An intravitreal injection with 0.05ml of an anti-VEGF drug was administered. OCT was performed before and 7 days after the intervention. The relationship between the best corrected visual acuity, neuroepithelial effusion, external membrane, ellipsoidal band, and choroidal thickness was assessed.

Results

The best corrected visual acuity improved significantly from 0.89±0.52 to 0.56±0.46. The neuroepithelial effusion decreased from 66% to 29%; the structural integrity of the external membrane and ellipsoidal zone significantly improved from 0.88±0.79 and 0.86±0.72 to 0.30±0.54 and 0.21±0.41, respectively. The choroid thickness did not change significantly with preoperative short-term treatment (318.18±47.42) or postoperatively (320.54±45.55).

Conclusion

Patients with retinal vein occlusion secondary to macular edema with short-term morphological changes in the macular area showed improvement in visual acuity after the injection of anti-VEGF drugs, with no significant effect on the choroid.
