Abstract

The authors present new possibilities in the treatment of the macuclar edema caused by the retinal venous occlusions; these occlusions are the second most common retinal vessel disease. The earlier possibilities of the treatment were focused on the macular edema laser treatment, laser panretinal photocoagulation in case of retinal or iris neovascularization presence, and the disease''s risk faactors compensation.

In the presence, the intravitreal application of corticosteroids or anti VEGF A preparations are more used for the treatment because of better results, as proved by means of randomized, clinical studies.
