The discrepancy between central foveal thickness and best corrected visual acuity in cystoid macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion after intravitreal lucentis® injection

• The discrepancy between central foveal thickness and BCVA.
• New OCT findings in cystoid macular edema.
• The assessment of anti-VEGF therapy by spectral domain OCT.

SummaryCystoid macular edema is a common retinal disorder with the potential for significant vision-related morbidity, and intravitreal lucentis® injection is confirmed to be an effective therapy approach. In the present study, we investigated the discrepancy between central foveal thickness and best corrected visual acuity in such lesions and infered that intravitreal lucentis® injection may help the visual function, related to the renewal of cells.
