Natural history of macular status in recent-onset branch retinal vein occlusion: an optical coherence tomography study

Purpose: To evaluate serially the course of structural changes in the macula in recent onset branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods: Twenty eyes of patients at an institutional practice with recent onset BRVO were examined by OCT at presentation and at 3 and 6 months of onset of the occlusion. The macular thickness (MT) and the visual acuity were correlated with the macular perfusion status and...
