The Branch Vein Occlusion Study (BVOS) was a randomized, incompletely masked, controlled clinical trial in patients with a branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) occurring 3 to 18 months earlier, with best corrected visual acuity of 20/40 or worse from macular edema. The study showed that argon laser grid photocoagulation could improve visual acuity in eyes with BRVO and macular edema reducing visual acuity to 20/40 or worse. After this study, grid photocoagulation of the macula became the standard of care for BRVO with macular edema with foveal involvement and capillary leakage with visual acuity of 20/40 or worse, and it remains the gold standard therapy for perfused macular edema in BRVO. Advantages are that it is proven, widely available, nonsurgical, and of relatively moderate cost.
