Khanani, MD, MA Managing Partner Director of Clinical Research Director of Fellowship Sierra Eye Associates Clinical Associate Professor University of Nevada Reno, NV FacultyCaroline Baumal, MD Professor of Ophthalmology New England Eye Center Tufts University School of Medicine Boston, MA Peter K. Kaiser, MD Chaney Family Endowed Chair in Ophthalmology Research Professor of Ophthalmology Cole Eye Institute Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine Cleveland, OH OverviewTreatment protocols utilizing anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapies have provided significant visual and anatomic improvements in patients with central or branch retinal vein occlusion (RVO)–related macular edema. The continued clinical evaluation and refinement of such treatment protocols are providing the potential to further enhance outcomes as well as reduce treatment burden in patients with RVO. Furthermore, newer imaging technologies integrated into current diagnostic algorithms, along with emerging biomarkers, are aiding in the early and accurate diagnosis of RVO and guiding therapy. In this CME activity, experts in the field discuss advances in imaging that can improve diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of treatment response, as well as evaluate treatment protocols that can improve functional and anatomic outcomes in patients with RVO.
