Key Points

  • Efficacy of anti-VEGF combined with corticosteroids appears to enhance recovery from macular edema.
  • A total of 15 studies highlighted an improved outcome with the combination treatment over anti-VEGF alone.
  • Systematic review and meta-analysis were implemented to combine outcomes from existing studies on this treatment.
  • These findings indicate a potential shift in treatment strategies for macular edema from retinal vein occlusion.
