Significantly increased SaO2-A and SaO2-AV can be seen in central and whole retina in ischemic BRVO group (P<0.05). AD in Ischemic BRVO eye was significantly narrower than contralateral eye (P<0.05). No significant differences were found between SaO2-V, SaO2-A and SaO2-AV within non-ischemic BRVO group. VD and AD in both groups showed no significance. No significant difference found between ischemic BRVO group and non-ischemic BRVO group (Data were not shown). Data were collected according second kind of analysis in method. Kruskal-Wallis test were performed for comparison, P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
