title: LASER INTERVENTION IN MACULAR OEDEMA DUE TO BRANCH RETINAL VEIN OCCLUSION.
abstract: 20 out of 25 patients of Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO), with macular oedema of more than six months duration and less than one year, with visual acuity (VA) less than 6/18 corrected and without retinal neovascularisation (NVE) or capillary non-perfusion (CNP) were subjected to argon-green laser photocoagulation applied in a macular grid fashion. At the end of two years 14/20 (70%) laser treated eyes in comparison to 2/5 (40%) of the non-laser group had corrected visual acuity of 6/12.
