ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report the effects and intraocular pressure (IOP) results of intravitreal injection of bevacizumab alone compared with intravitreal low-dose bevacizumab combined with low-dose triamcinolone injection in patients with central retinal vein occlusion.METHODS:
In total, 40 eyes of 40 patients diagnosed with central retinal vein occlusion were evaluated. Of these, 20 eyes of 20 patients were injected with intravitreal bevacizumab (1.25 mg/0.05 mL), and 20 eyes of 20 patients were injected with low-dose bevacizumab (0.625 mg/0.025 mL) combined with low-dose triamcinolone (1 mg/0.025 mL). The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT), and IOP of treated eyes were measured before injection and at 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months after injection.RESULTS:
In both the intravitreal bevacizumab and the low-dose bevacizumab combined with low-dose triamcinolone groups, CMT decreased significantly at 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months after injection (p 0.05). The BCVA, IOP, and CMT at 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months after injection showed no significant differences between the intravitreal bevacizumab group and the low-dose bevacizumab combined with low-dose triamcinolone group (p > 0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
The CMT of both groups decreased significantly, and BCVA of both groups increased significantly in patients with central retinal vein occlusion. Injection of low-dose intravitreal bevacizumab combined with low-dose intravitreal triamcinolone may be useful for the treatment of central retinal vein occlusion.
