Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is considered the second vascular disorder of the retina after diabetic retinopathy. Patients with RVO are at risk of the development of macular edema. Different treatment modalities for macular edema include LASER therapy, antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and triamcinolone. Aim To detect the efficacy of formulated Triamcinolone Acetonide(TA) injection in the posterior subtenon space to manage macular edema secondary to non-ischemic RVOs, either central or branch.
