Formulated PSTA Injection Versus PATA Alone in the Management of Macular Edema Secondary to Non-ischemic Retinal Vein Occlusions
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to compare formulated Posterior Subtenon Triamcinolone acetonide (PSTA) injection versus Posterior Subtenon Triamcinolone acetonide alone in the management of macular edema secondary to non-ischemic retinal vein occlusions, either central or branch.
