(Fundación Universitaria San Martín, 2008) Padilla Sierra, Leyla; Zabaleta Avendaño, Aida; Bajaire G., Boris
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the functional and anatomical effect of bevacizumab in patients with macular edema secondary to nonischemic central retinal vein occlusion. Materials and Methods: Interventional case series study in 29 eyes with macula edema secondary to non-ischemic central retinal vein occlusion treated with 2.5 mg intravitreal Bevacizumab injection. Visual acuity, macular thickness measured with OCT and secondary effects were evaluated at presentation, 3 and 6 months after treatment. Results: We found a statistically significant difference on the macular thickness before and after intravitreal Bevacizumab injection. There is no significant difference on visual acuity before and after treatment. Conclusions: Intravitreal Bevacizumab seems to have significant effect on macular thickness and fewer effects on visual acuity in patients with CRVO.
