ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the effectiveness of 0.1% topical bromfenac as an adjunctive treatment with intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injection for branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) patients.METHODS:
We retrospectively evaluated 68 eyes of 68 patients with macular edema (ME) secondary to BRVO who were treated with IVB injection and followed up for at least 12 months. Of the 68 eyes, 38 were treated with IVB combined with 0.1% topical bromfenac and 30 were treated with IVB alone. IVB reinjection was performed in cases of recurrence. The primary outcome measurement was the number of IVB injections. Changes in the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central foveal thickness (CFT) during the 12-month follow-up were compared.RESULTS:
There was no significant difference in the BCVA or CFT between the two groups at the initial and final examinations. However, the number of IVB injections was significantly lower in the 0.1% bromfenac-treated eyes (p < 0.01) than in the control eyes (4.1 ± 0.7 vs. 5.0 ± 0.6 times).CONCLUSIONS:
Compared to IVB monotherapy, topical bromfenac as an adjunctive treatment with IVB injection of eyes with ME secondary to BRVO did not affect visual outcomes, but it reduced the number of IVB injections.
