Megjegyzések:	Purpose We measured vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) levels in tear fluid and serum in patients with retinalvein occlusion (RVO).Patients and methods Eight patients with RVO due to secondarymacular oedema were examined. VEGF levels were measuredby enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. All patientshad a full ophthalmic examination (visual acuity, slit lampbiomicroscopy, perimetry, and fluorescein angiography). Centralretinal thickness (CRT) was examined using optical coherencetomography (OCT). Tear and serum samples werecollected and examinations were performed at diagnosis and1 and 4 weeks later.Results VEGF levels in the tears of RVO eyes were significantlyhigher than in fellow eyes at diagnosis and after both 1and 4 weeks (paired t test, p1=0.01, p2=0.02, p3=0.006). Wefound a weak but significant positive correlation betweenVEGF levels in tear fluid and serum of patients with RVO(r=0.21), while this correlation tended to be stronger betweenthe fellow eyes and serum levels (r=0.33).Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, we are the first toreport an increased level of VEGF in the tear fluid of patientswith RVO. Alterations of VEGF levels in tears may be usefulfor determining stages of RVO. This non-invasive and objectivemethod may also be helpful for estimating the severity ofmacular oedema and efficacy of treatment.
