OCT in CRVO and BRVO.

(i) There is no correlation between macular thickness measured by OCT and visual acuity in CRVO and BRVO.
(ii) In retinal vein occlusions the visual acuity drops early and deeply and the residual vision depends rather on the state of the retinal circulation than on the macular thickness.
(iii) In CRVO and BRVO, OCT evaluates the evolution of the macular thickness after surgical intervention and identifies the subclinical retinal detachment.
