Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To compare outcomes in eyes with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) presenting with (group 1) or without (group 2) fovea-involving intraretinal hemorrhage (IRH).
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective review of patients diagnosed with acute, treatment-naive CRVO between January 2009 and July 2016.
RESULTS: One hundred fifteen (39.8%) of 289 CRVO eyes had fovea-involving IRH. At baseline, eyes in group 1 had significantly worse visual acuity (VA) (1.2 +/- 0.10 logMAR vs. 0.9 +/- 0.06 logMAR; P = .001) and greater central subfield thickness (CST) (610.4 mu m +/- 35.9 mu m vs. 435.0 mu m + 21.6 mu m; P < .001) than eyes in group 2. Final visual outcomes were comparable between groups (1.24 +/- 0.09 logMAR vs. 1.02 +/- 0.08 logMAR; P = .08). Group 1 received a significantly greater number of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections during the first year (7.80 +/- 0.40 vs. 5.20 +/- 0.40; P = .001).
CONCLUSIONS: Although treatment-naive eyes with acute CRVO and fovea-involving IRI I had worse VA and greater CST at presentation, the final VA was comparable to eyes without such a hemorrhage. Eyes with foveal IRH had a greater treatment burden in the first 12 months.
