Popis: Purpose: To evaluate the association between disorganization of the retinal inner layers (DRIL) and visual acuity (VA) after anti-VEGF treatment for macular edema (ME) due to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). Methods: Sixty eyes of 60 patients were retrospectively investigated. Baseline characteristics and factors analyzed on optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination at the final visit were evaluated in association with VA at the final visit. Results: DRIL was detected in 39 eyes at the final visit. The central subfield thickness was significantly higher in the eyes with DRIL. While DRIL length at the final visit showed a significant association with final VA on univariable analysis, only age and ellipsoid zone disruption on OCT at the final visit were found to be significantly associated with VA on multivariable analysis. Conclusions: DRIL had only a minor role in determining VA after anti-VEGF treatment for ME due to BRVO.
