Visual acuity and foveal thickness after vitrectomy for macular edema associated with branch retinal vein occlusion: a case series.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Although most patients with visual impairment due to corneal diseases can be treated successfully with surgery, some require visual rehabilitation to restore reading ability. To evaluate the best LVAs especially in terms of reading speed and characterize this specific patient group we performed a prospective...
