A case-control study of 225 patients with branch retinal vein occlusion
(BRVO) and 100 age-matched controls was conducted to assess potential
clinical risk factors for BRVO. Male gender, hypertension, and hyperopia
were significantly more prevalent in patients with BRVO. There was no
significant association with race, diabetes, or chronic open-angle
glaucoma.
