title: [Clinical efficacy of dexamethasone intravitreal implant (Ozurdex) in patients with retinal vein occlusions].
abstract: Two cases of dexamethasone intravitreal implant (Ozurdex) use are reported. The drug promotes resolution of macular edema and ensures a long-term improvement of visual acuity. The latter may depend on such factors as the duration of the disease and localization of the occlusion. Application of Dexamethasone Intravitreal Implant provides new opportunities for the treatment of retinal vein occlusions.
