Background: There is no proven effective treatment for vision loss in central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Bevacizumab has been reported in small series with limited follow-up, to have a positive effect in reducing cystoid macular edema (CME) and improving vision in CRVO. Purpose: To report long-term results with the use of bevacizumab in CRVO. Materials and methods: Prospective interventional case series included 15 patients, serially evaluated with best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography, and tonometry. Results were statistically analyzed. Results: Mean follow-up was 12 +/- 3.6 months (range, 6-18 months); mean number of injections was 2.2 (range, 1-4) per patient. Statistically significant reduction of macular thickness (P < 0.001) was seen at six weeks (mean, 346 mu); three months (mean, 353 mu); six months (mean, 348 mu); and final follow-up (mean, 342 mu). Significant BCVA improvement was seen at six weeks (mean, 0.27 logMAR), three months (mean, 0.3 logMAR), three months (0.15 logMAR), and final follow-up (mean, 0.21 logMAR) (P = 0.009). Also, 73.3% patients had BCVA improvement at the last follow-up. Conclusion: Intravitreal bevacizumab is an effective treatment option for CME in CRVO patients. Reinjections at appropriate timing, based on the OCT findings, are important for better visual outcome.
