“…At referral an ophthalmological examination was performed in both eyes and included measurement of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) using charts complying with the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) standard (Rahimy et al. 2015). After dilatation of the pupils using phenylephrine 10% (Amgros I/S, Copenhagen, Denmark) and tropicamide 1% (Alcon, Copenhagen, Denmark), the patients were subjected to slit‐lamp examination, 90D lens biomicroscopy of the retina and 60 degrees fundus photography (Canon CF 60Z; Canon, Amstelveen, the Netherlands).…”

Purpose Previous studies have shown that the retinal oxygen saturation in central retinal vein occlusion treated with anti‐VEGF compound has no predictive value for visual outcome after 12 months. It is of interest to evaluate whether this conclusion is similar for patients with branch retinal vein occlusion among whom only some patients are treated. Methods Retinal oxygen saturation, visual acuity and central retinal thickness were studied at the time of referral and after six and 12 months in 111 patients successively referred to the Department of Ophthalmology, Aarhus University Hospital, with a venous occlusion affecting branches peripheral from the central retinal venule. The predictive value of the oxygen saturation at referral was investigated in treated and untreated patients. Results Seventy‐three patients with visual acuity between 35 and 70 ETDRS letters at referral were treated with intravitreal injection of anti‐VEGF compound. Over 12 months, the venous oxygen saturation improved in parallel with central retinal thickness and visual acuity but had no predictive value for visual outcome. In 12 untreated patients with visual acuity >70 ETDRS letters, younger age and high oxygen saturation at the time of referral were positive predictors for the visual outcome after 12 months. Conclusion Oxygen saturation, visual acuity and central retinal thickness improve in parallel during treatment of branch retinal vein occlusion with intravitreal anti‐VEGF medication. Retinal oximetry at referral cannot predict visual acuity after 12 months in treated patients but may perhaps become a tool for predicting the visual prognosis in a subgroup of patients where treatment is omitted because of a too high visual acuity at the time of diagnosis of the disease.

“…10 Using this technique, visual acuity is expressed on a scale between 0 and 100 corresponding to visual acuities between 0.02 and 2.0, and the values can be handled arithmetically without logarithmic transformation. The pupils were dilated using tropicamide 1% (Alcon, Copenhagen, Denmark) and phenylephrine 10% (Amgros I/ S, Copenhagen, Denmark) eye drops.…”
