• To study the correlation of visual acuity and photoreceptor in eyes with persistent cystoid macular edema associated with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). It was a retrospective case series study.Medical records of 41 patients (41 eyes) with persistent cystoid macular edema secondary to BRVO diagnosed in Department of Ophthalmology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2008 to January 2010 were studied retrospectively. On the images obtained by spectral-domain OCT, the thickness of foveal neurosensory retina and photoreceptor layer that was beneath the foveal cystoid spaces, and the transverse length and height of foveal cystoid spaces were measured. The status of the junction between inner and outer segments of the photoreceptors (IS-OS) in the fovea was also assessed. The correlations between the parameters above and visual acuity were analyzed. The average foveal neurosensory thickness was (484.71 ± 131.86) µm, the photoreceptor layer thickness was (92.04 ± 45.53) µm and the size of fove
