Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Comparison between intravitreal injection of ranibizumab and combination of ranibizumab and triamcinolone acetate for the treatment of macular edema secondary to CRVO [2 year]
To compare the clinical effectiveness of 0.5 mg ranibizumab and combination of ranibizumab and triamcinolone 0.3/0.5mg for the treatment of macular oedema secondary to CRVO.Study assessments will be performed at screening, baseline and at monthly visits: Best-Corrected Visual Acuity: will be assessed at every study visit by using alandolt ringes VA testing chart at an initial testing distance of 6 m.
- Comparison between intravitreal injection of ranibizumab and combination of ranibizumab and triamcinolone acetate for the treatment of macular edema secondary to CRVO [2 year]
To compare the clinical effectiveness of 0.5 mg ranibizumab and combination of ranibizumab and triamcinolone 0.3/0.5mg for the treatment of macular oedema secondary to CRVO.Study assessments will be performed at screening, baseline and at monthly visits: Optical Coherence Tomography: will be performed at every visit and the same machine will be used for assessment of the same patient throughout the study. investigator will evaluate the images according to central foveal thickness, and the retinal thickness at the foveal center point and to capture the presence or absence of qualitative parameters (i.e., intraretinal cystoid fluid and subretinal fluid).
