March 15, 2022 updated by: Ahmed Ali Ahmed Amer, Qena Faculty of medicine, South Valley University

Ranibizumab Versus Aflibercept for Macular Edema Secondary to Non-ischemic Central Retinal Vein Occlusion in Young Adult Patients.

this study will compare the efficacy and safety of use either Ranibizumab and Aflibercept in treatment of macular edema resulting from non ischemic central retinal vein occlusion in patients younger than 5o years old

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a prospective randomized interventional study, Forty eyes of forty patients younger than 50 years with macular edema due to non-ischemic CRVO were enrolled in the study.

Patients will be randomized into 2 groups. First group will receive intravitreal injection of Ranibizumab 0.5 mg\0.1ml. the second group will receive intravitreal injection of 2.0 mg\0.1 ml Aflibercept. All patients will be followed up for 12 months.
