PURPOSE: The pathology of branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), a retinal circulatory disease, is related to monocular metamorphopsia-related vision impairment of the affected eyes, but the association of binocular metamorphopsia in such patients is unclear. This study aimed to examine the frequency of binocular metamorphopsia and its association with the clinical characteristics of patients with BRVO. METHODS: A total of 87 patients who were treated for BRVO-associated macular edema (ME) were included in this study. At baseline and 1 and 3 months after the initiation of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment, we quantified metamorphopsia in the affected eyes and binocular metamorphopsia using the M-CHARTS diagnostic tool. RESULTS: At baseline, 53 and 7 patients had metamorphopsia in the affected eyes and binocular metamorphopsia, respectively. Although the visual acuity improved significantly after the initiation of anti-VEGF treatment, the mean M-CHARTS score in the affected eyes did not change from the baseline score. At 3 months, 9 patients showed binocular metamorphopsia; it was significantly associated with metamorphopsia in the affected eyes with a 95% confidence interval of 0.021-0.122 (β = 0.306, p = 0.006). CONCLUSION: Metamorphopsia in the affected eyes can cause binocular metamorphopsia in patients with BRVO-ME.
目的:分支视网膜静脉阻塞(BRVO)是一种视网膜循环疾病,其病理学与受累眼的单眼变形性视力障碍有关,但此类患者的双眼变形性视力障碍的相关性尚不清楚。本研究旨在检查 BRVO 相关黄斑水肿(ME)患者双眼变形性视力障碍的频率及其与患者临床特征的关系。
方法:本研究共纳入 87 例接受抗血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)治疗的 BRVO-ME 患者。在基线时以及抗 VEGF 治疗开始后 1 个月和 3 个月,我们使用 M-CHARTS 诊断工具量化了受累眼和双眼的变形性视力障碍。
结果:基线时,53 例和 7 例患者的受累眼和双眼分别出现变形性视力障碍。尽管抗 VEGF 治疗开始后视力明显提高,但受累眼的平均 M-CHARTS 评分与基线评分相比没有变化。3 个月时,9 例患者出现双眼变形性视力障碍;它与受累眼的变形性视力障碍显著相关,置信区间为 0.021-0.122(β=0.306,p=0.006)。
结论:BRVO-ME 患者受累眼的变形性视力障碍可导致双眼变形性视力障碍。
