Abstract

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) in patients with naive branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) before and after intravitreal dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex (R)) injection.
