Objective  To observe the serum lipid level of patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). Methods  A total of 71 BRVO patients (BRVO group) were enrolled in this study. The patients included 31 males and 40 females, with an average age of (52.75 plusmn;10.2) years. All the patients were examined for visual acuity, slit lamp ophthalmoscopy combine with preset lens, fundus color photography and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) examination. Seventy-two age and sex matched normal subjects were enrolled in this study as control group. The subjects included 32 males and 40 females, with an average age of (53.10 plusmn;9.5) years. The BRVO and control group were divided into four subgroup which including age with ＜40 years, 40-49 years, 50-59 years and  ge;60 years. The plasma cholesterol and triglyceride level of BRVO group, control group, and age subgroups of BRVO and control group were comparatively analyzed. Results  The average plasma cholesterol levels were (4.529 plusmn;0.100) and (4.274 plusmn;0.106) mmol/L in BRVO and control group, respectively. There was no difference between two groups (t=-1.738，P＞0.05). The average triglyceride levels were (1.500 plusmn;0.129) and (1.319 plusmn;0.095) mmol/L in BRVO and control group, respectively. There was no difference between two groups (t=-1.135，P＞0.05). There was no difference of average plasma cholesterol (t=-1.755, 1.850, -1.892, -0.507) and triglyceride (t=0.846, -0.074, -1.288, -1.887) level in age subgroups of BRVO and control subgroup (P＞0.05). Conclusion  There is no significant difference of serum lipid level between BRVO patients and controls.
