Abstract
Aim. To assess the efficacy of complex treatment of retinal veins occlusion with anti-angiogenic - ranibizumab, and laser retinal photocoagulation. Methods. 36 patients (36 eyes) with occlusion of central retinal vein and its branches were included. Patients with central retinal vein occlusion (n=17) were included in the first group, patients with retinal vein branch occlusion (n=19) were included in the second group. All the patients underwent visual acuity testing, ocular tonometry, ophthalmoscopy, biomicroscopy, spectral optical coherence tomography, intravenous fluorescein angiography at the baseline, 1 and 3 months after treatment. Treatment included intravitreal ranibizumab injection (0.5 mg) and laser retinal photocoagulation 1 month after intravitreal injection. Results. In 94.4% of cases good treatment effect was observed. Visual acuity improved from 0.06±0.03 at baseline to 0.22±0.08 (p <0.05) at the end of treatment in the first group and from 0.31±0.06 to 0.64±0.05 (p <0.05) in the second group. Central retinal thickness reduced from 752.2±98.4 μm to 309.21±45.57 μm (p <0.05) in the first and from 689.12±64.08 μm to 235.37±46.07 μm (p <0.05) in the second group. Conclusion. The results indicate high effectiveness of suggested complex treatment of retinal vein occlusion with anti-angiogenic - ranibizumab and laser retinal photocoagulation.
