Safety and efficacy of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plus corticosteroids versus anti-VEGF alone for macular edema from retinal vein occlusion: A systematic review and meta-analysis

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.
