Comparing the effectiveness of treating branch retinal vein occlusion with a novel one and stepped pro re nata treatment protocol.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate the anatomical and functional outcomes of branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) eyes treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections using a novel one and stepped pro re nata protocol. This retrospective case series evaluated the electronic medical records from 22 BRVO patients who were treated with anti-VEGF agents under our novel "One and Stepped PRN" protocol at a single tertiary medical center between January 2016 and October 2022. Outcomes of interest included best-corrected visual acuity and central retinal thickness. Twenty-two treatment-naive BRVO eyes (14 males, 8 females) were included. The mean age was 65.82 ± 10.88 years. Average follow-up was 54.45 ± 7.65 weeks. 7 (31.81%) received mainly Ranibizumab, and 15 (68.18%) r
