AIM：To explore how oxygen saturation in retinal blood vessels is altered in ischemic and non-ischemic branch retinal vein occlusion（BRVO）.·METHODS：Fifty BRVO eyes were divided into ischemic（=26）and non-ischemic（=24）groups,based on fundus fluorescein angiography.Healthy individuals（=52 and=48,respectively）were also recruited as controls for the two groups.The mean oxygen saturations of the occluded vessels and central vessels were measured by oximetry in the BRVO and control groups.·R ESULTS：In the ischemic BRVO group,the occluded arterioles oxygen saturation（Sa O2-A,106.0%±14.3%）,instead of the occluded venule oxygen saturation（Sa O2-V,60.8%±9.4%）,showed increases when compared with those in the same quadrant vessels（Sa O2-A,86.1%±16.5%）in the contralateral eyes（〈0.05）.The oxygen saturations of the central vessels showed similar trends with those of the occluded vessels.In the non-ischemic BRVO group,the occluded and central Sa O2-V and Sa O2-A showed no significant changes.In both the ischemic and non-ischemic BRVOs,the central Sa O2-A was significantly increased when compared to healthy individuals.·CONCLUSION：Obvious changes in the occluded and central Sa O2-A were found in the ischemic BRVO group,indicating that disorders of oxygen metabolism in the arterioles may participate in the pathogenesis of ischemic BRVO.
