| OBJECTIVES/METHODS: It is well established that some patients with branch retinal vein occlusion undergo a spontaneous resolution after a suitable waiting period. We present a series of 22 patients with initial acuity under 0.2 for whom we allowed three months of observation before considering vitrectomy. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: 13% of the patients developed enough spontaneous improvement to be excluded from subsequent treatment. We thus believe a waiting period should be considered before instituting treatment in patients with this particular problem. |
