Abstract

Purpose: To investigate longitudinal changes in metamorphopsia associated with branch retinal vein occlusion. Methods: In this prospective observational case series, we included 32 eyes (32 patients) with branch retinal vein occlusion and acute macular edema. Eyes were treated as needed with intravitreal ranibizumab injections for 12 months. At baseline and 1, 6, and 12 months after initiating treatment, metamorphopsia was quantified using M-CHARTS. Retinal morphology was examined through optical coherence tomography. Results: Logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution visual acuity progressively improved from 0.342 ± 0.304 (Snellen equivalent: 20/44) at baseline to 0.199 ± 0.259 (20/32) and 0.118 ± 0.195 (20/26) at 1 and 12 months, respectively (both P
