ObjectiveTo investigate the effects and safety of intravitreous injection of Conbercept combined with laser photocoagulation for macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion. MethodsAll subjects were assigned randomly to 3 groups:intravitreal Conbercept combined with laser photocoagulation group (CL group), intravitreal triamcinolone combined with laser photocoagulation group (TL group), and photocoagulation group (L group). The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT), fundus oculi and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), intraocular pressure (IOP), slit lamp were observed before and 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months after treatment. The changes of post-treatment BCVA and CMT in pre-therapy and post-treatment were compared, and related complications were recorded. ResultsThere were significant differences of BCVA (χ2=9.754, 12.430, 17.424, 13.189) and CMT (F=10.614, 4.099, 4.927, 8.99) between 3 groups in post-treatment 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months. The numbers of subjects of improving and stabilizing BCVA in CL group were remarkably more than that in L group in every post-treatment follow-up time (P < 0.01), whereas the CMTs in CL group were significantly less than that in L group in every post-treatment follow-up time (P < 0.05). The CMTs in post-treatment 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months were thinner than that in pretreatment in CL group and TL group (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, there was no significant difference (P > 0.05)between any two CMTs in post-treatment 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months in CL group. Yet, the CMT in post-treatment 3 months was thicker than those in post-treatment 1 day, 1 week and 1 month in TL group(P < 0.05). And there was no significant difference(P > 0.05)between any two CMTs in post-treatment 1 day, 1 week and 1 month in TL group. There was no conspicuous difference in CMTs(P > 0.05)between in CL group and in TL group in every viewing time, except for that in post-treatment 3 months(P < 0.05). There was only 1 case of intraocular hypertension in post-treatment in TL group. ConclusionsIntravitreous injection of Conbercept combined with laser photocoagulation for macular edema secondary to BRVO is effective, safe, and superior to laser photocoagulation only. Also it had a longer effective duration and less complications than intravitreal triamcinolone combined with laser photocoagulation.
