Abstract


Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and the resulting complications of diabetic maculopathy are the next most common vascular cause of impaired vision in the world. Management of RVO include identification and treatment of risk factors, diagnosis and treatment of vision impairment threatening complications. An important role in the treatment of macular edema in RVO play injections of anti-VEGF.
