Steroid Therapy in Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion and Macular Edema

Macular edema is the most common cause of vision loss in branch retinal vein occlusion. Mechanism of macular edema in branch retinal vein occlusion is multifactorial and it has not yet been fully understood. With the new informations obtained from the new studies, treatment modalities have been changed. Nowadays besides laser and intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide treatments, intravitreal anti–vascular endothelial growth factor and dexamethasone implant therapies are commonly used. In this review, we aimed to evaluate the intravitreal steroid treatment in branch retinal vein occlusion.
