Popis: Abstract To evaluate the prognosis and influencing factors of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in patients with concomitant carotid artery disease receiving anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment. Patients diagnosed with RVO and receiving anti-VEGF treatment were included. Eye and clinical data were collected. The patients were divided into a group with concomitant carotid artery disease (Group A) and a group without concomitant carotid artery disease (Group B). The risk factors affecting the visual prognosis of RVO patients with concomitant carotid artery disease were analyzed. Among 177 eligible patients with RVO, 101 had concomitant carotid artery disease (Group A), while 76 did not (Group B). Group A had a significantly lower treatment effectiveness rate than Group B (P
