Short-term effect of intravitreal ranibizumab therapy on macular edema after branch retinal vein occlusion

Purpose: To assess the short-term effect of intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) on macular edema after branch retinal vein occlusion. Methods: Twenty-three eyes with macular edema after branch retinal vein occlusion were enrolled in a prospective observational study. After administering one IVR injection (0.5 mg) for the first time, the authors measured the foveal thickness (FT) before and 2 hours, 1 and 3 days, 1 week, and 1 month later and the best-corrected visual acuity at all times except 2 hours, and determined the changes from baseline (ΔFT and ΔVA). Results: The mean FT decreased significantly (P
