PURPOSE: To evaluate visual function disorder in patients with branch retinal vein occlusion by quantifying the degree of metamorphopsia. DESIGN: prospective interventional case series. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The subjects were 12 patients(12 eyes) whose fovea was involved with branch retinal vein occlusion within a month after noticing their symptoms. The best-corrected visual acuity, and vertical and horizontal metamorphopsia scores were obtained within one month, and at 3 months and 6 months after the onset of symptoms regardless of therapy. The metamorphopsia scores were measured with M-CHARTS. RESULTS: Although the average best-corrected visual acuity at 6 months was significantly better than that within a month of noticing symptoms, the average metamorphopsia scores did not improve after 6 months, and were not related to the average best-corrected visual acuity in either vertical or horizontal lines. CONCLUSIONS: The degree of metamorphopsia measured with M-CHARTS is an important parameter in addition to the best-corrected visual acuity for evaluating visual function in patients with branch retinal vein occlusion.
