Abstract
To study prognostic factors for visual acuity VA after intravitreal bevacizumab injection IVB for macular edema ME associated with retinal vein occlusion RVO by evaluating the correlation between the final VA and VA at baseline and at 1 3 and 6 months after the initial IVBBaseline VA was significantly correlated with the final VA r = 0552 P 00001 Postoperative VA at 1 3 and 6 months after the initial IVB however was even more closely correlated with the final VA r = 0793 0816 0893 respectively P 00001 in each case Additionally eyes with a VA of 20/40 or better at 1 month achieved a significantly better final VA than did eyes with a VA worse than 20/40 at 1 month P 00001 This tendency was seen also in each RVO subgroup
