u
Scar in outer retina
u
Usually stable/ non progressive central scotoma
u
Very good outcomes with antiVEGF injections
u
if Timely referral and treatment
u
AntiVEGF agents in clinical use in NHS
u
LUCENTIS & EYLEA
u
Local expereince
u Both probably similar u Outcome data collection
u Average 7 injections in first year u 4+ in second year u Treatment is indefinite
u
In practice look out for signs of nAMD
u OCT can help refine diagnosis
u
Macular hole may be confusing

Incidence of diabetes rising globally
u

u
Screening programme helps early diagnosis
u
Diaabetic retinopathy is usually continuos –progressive condition
u
Background – preproliferative – proliferative stages
u
Maculopathy occurs at any stage
u
Definition
u
Cliniaclly significant macular oedema
u CSMO – clinical diagnosis
u
Centre involving macular Oedema
u CiMO – OCT based u NICE guidance is based on this
u
AntiVEGF
u Lucentis or Eylea
u If >400 micron (NICE)
u Ozurdex or Iluvien implant
u If unresponsive to antiVEGF and eye is
pseudophakic u
Good results with AntiVEGF
u Improvement in vision 5-10 letters
u Multiple injections and visits (monthly) in
the first year
u Reduced number of injections in second
year u
Steroid implants: Ozurdex /Iluvien
u Rescue treatment
Epidemiology
BRVO > CRVO Prevalence:
0.5–2.0% for BRVO 0.1–0.2% for CRVO
5 year incidence:
1.8% for BRVO 0.2% for CRVO
CRVO – natural history
Spontaneous improvement < 20%
Base line VA 6/60 to 6/18
Young age (<50) more favourable
20% still get severe issues (NV)
Dehydration/ Inflammation
10% BILATERAL @ baseline
5% get second eye involvement in 1 year
BRVO- natural history
Spontaneous improvement 50- 60%
6/12+ at one year
20% worsen 5% bilateral BRVO evident at presentation Most unilateral
10% would get second eye involvement
