Patients with branch retinal vein occlusion can be treated with retinal laser therapy to reduce the risk of neovascularization, but there are certain side effects, and patients may experience visual field defects and loss of night vision after treatment.
After retinal laser treatment, patients with branch retinal vein occlusion may experience a loss of vision at night and may experience discomfort such as visual field defects because the laser energy can cause damage to the optic rod cells.
Although retinal laser treatment for branch retinal vein occlusion has some side effects, there is currently no specific drug for the treatment of branch retinal vein occlusion in the clinic, and laser treatment is the more common means.
It is recommended that patients with retinal vein occlusion seek medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
