Abstract

We investigated intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection for the treatment of macular edema due to central retinal vein occlusion in 20 patients. Mean central macular thickness at 3 days, 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months postoperatively was different than baseline. Visual acuity did not change. Intravitreal triamcinolone injection significantly improves short-term anatomy, but recurrences and steroid-related complications were noted in the longer term.
