Antagonists of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway are effective in treating macular edema resulting from retinal vein occlusion (RVO). In the eye, the two most widely used antiVEGF agents are ranibizumab and bevacizumab. Retinal vein occlusion is the second most common retinal vascular disease after diabetic retinopathy and is associated with a severe decrease in visual acuity (VA). 1, 2 In central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), the most common visionthreatening complications are. One common aftereffect of a central retinal vein occlusion is an effect called macular edema. Macular edema is swelling or thickening of the part of the retina that is responsible for central vision. Most patients with CRVO, develop macular edema in the months following the initial occlusion.
