Popis: AIM: To evaluate the outcomes of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents for patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) related-macular edema (ME) in Tibetan. METHODS: A retrospective, observational, single-center study. The demographic and clinical data of 90 RVO Tibetan patients (93 eyes) treated with either ranibizumab or conbercept in Tibet Autonomous Region People's Hospital from Jan 2018 to December 2019 were collected. RESULTS: The mean patient age was 56.8±10.6y, 45 (50%) of them were female. The mean living altitude was 3867.8±567.9 m. At the last visit, the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) significantly increased (52.2±21.8 letters) in comparison with the baseline (38.2±24.1 letters, P
